About us

Hana Flutes is a flute studio founded by flute technician Cristian Sanmartin in collaboration with renowned wind instrument technician Enrique Pernia from Luthierdeviento S.L.

It is this researcher side of his background that defines the mission of Hana Flutes: to keep learning passionately about the flute. Our philosophy is to look at what we know about the flute from every posible angle in order to gain a complete, multifaceted understanding of the instrument.

We are dealers of pre-owned flutes, providing instrument sale and purchase services. As a workshop, we provide consultation and repair services.
