Flautists for hire in Derby
Latest reviews of our Flautists in Derby
"Max played the flute and low whistle beautifully at our wedding this week. Communication with Max was quick and easy since first requesting a quote. He was very accommodating with my hymn requests, even though there were some changes in the final weeks before the wedding. He accompanied a friend who was singing, and they sounded great together even though they hadn’t met before the event. Max arrived in plenty of time before the service started and was the utmost professional. Would 100% recommend. Thank you Max. "

FAQs about hiring Flautists in Derby
Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore
Can any flautist play my favourite song?
Professional flautists will often take requests, but you will need to give them plenty of notice. Please also keep in mind that flautists may ask for an small additional fee to prepare songs that aren't already on their song list. You can view the flautist's song list on their Encore profile.
How much time do flautists take to set up?
Your flautist will usually arrive about an hour or so before their performance begins to set up and get settled before they start playing. To avoid any delays, make sure the performance space is ready for the flautist prior to their arrival.
My venue has asked for the performer’s PLI & PAT inspection certificates. What are these?
PLI stands for Public Liability Insurance. This insurance covers damage to another person or their property (it is also known as third party insurance). As many of our flautists are members of the Musician's Union, they are already covered by PLI up to £10 million. PAT stands for portable appliance testing. Most of our flautists will already have a PAT inspection certificate for their musical equipment/PA system, which they can provide to your venue if they need it.
