Welcome to FF FIDELITY, a FREE membership program designed to offer flute teachers and their students unparalleled access to our extensive range of the world's finest flutes, and to ensure that they receive the best possible service and support during and well after purchasing.
Australia is a vast country, defined by the challenges of distance but with a thriving, dedicated and essential network of music teachers and students. We have always done our best to ensure that every corner is looked after, however time and resources are finite. That's why we created FF FIDELITY, in the hope that every flute teacher and their students, no matter where they are, can access the best instruments that the world has to offer, right on their doorsteps, because we believe that having the perfect instrument will make all the difference in helping the player express every nuance, colour and desire within them.
FF FIDELITY has two types of memberships - ADVISER and AFFILIATE (both of which are free to join). The benefits include:
- Free instrument shipping to you and free return shipping for all trials (using our nominated freight service). Instruments will be fully disinfected before shipping and upon return and we will also provide alcohol swabs within each shipment.
- All instruments sent to and received from you will be covered by our transit insurance provided you comply with our conditions.
- An extended 7-day trial (normally 3 days).
- An extended 18-months of free check-ups and adjustments on all new flute purchases (normally 12 months), for the teacher and their students.
- 15% off all Sheet Music and Accessories from Syrinx Music, and 15% off all Sheet Music and Accessories from Blow Woodwind & Brass.
- Access to special promotions offered only to members.
- [AFFILIATE MEMBERS ONLY] A Consultation Fee will be paid directly to you when your student purchases a flute. The student needs to be informed of this from the beginning and it will be noted on their Tax Invoice.
The Consultation Fee is available to any teacher who signs up to become an AFFILIATE Member. Many teachers spend a considerable time researching, listening to and advising their students on the right flute for them, not to mention going through the process of organising shipments to and from us. We believe that they deserve to be fairly compensated for their time, with the more advanced students generally requiring more attention, so we have created a tiered Payment Structure to reflect this:
