 Welcome to the web site of Andrew Oxley. I am a professional flute maker specialising in head joint manufacture,repair and restoration,I also carry out servicing of flutes.
I have been repairing flutes since 1975 and progressed to head joint manufacture in about 1976 whilst studying at Royal College of Music.

I undertake bespoke manufacture and repair work across a wide range of available materials to include silver and gold.

I studied the flute at Royal College of Music from 1975 to 1978 gaining my performer's ARCM. I then worked as a freelance flautist with various orchestras and also on film session recordings over a number of years.  I have taught privately and also given a number of master classes. 

Whilst I was at the RCM I started repairing flutes, built my first flute and re-tuned various instruments.  I also started manufacturing my own headjoints, which are my real speciality and passion. 

To date I have made 52 concert flutes manufactured in silver & gold and over 1500 head joints in all sorts of different materials including one made from a brass tube taken from the wreck of a sunken armed ship, torpedoed in 1918!

I also undertake more specialised bespoke work to satisfy any particular requirements a customer may have including engraving.
My list of clients include William Bennett, Adrian Brett, Atarah Ben-Tovim, Susan Milan,Julie Wright, and many other eminent flautists.
