Phil Unger Owner/Repair Technician

Phil Unger grew up in a house that was filled with the sound of his father's clarinet playing. It makes sense that Phil would pursue a life that revolves around instruments and helping people make music.

As a child, Phil learned the Clarinet and later on took up the Contrabass. He later enrolled and attended Ohio University and received a degree in Radio and Television, but over the years he never lost his passion for instruments. He realized early on that he had an innate ability to take things apart and put them back together again. After taking a repair class at the Heidelberg College in Tiffin, Ohio, Phil decided to follow both of his passions for music and repair. He enrolled in the best music repair program in the country, Allied Repair School in Elkhorn, Wisconsin. It was while at Allied that he discovered his special talent for repairing flutes. He excelled in this department. After spending one year working and training in Wisconsin, Phil moved to Dallas to manage and repair for a large music store. After a few years, he decided he needed to learn more about professional flute repair. Professional flutes are a world apart from student flutes and require special training.
