Good luck, Ana.  Maybe you could email the band teacher for the grade schools.  They may know of someone who wants to sell one.

Other than that, Smeltekopf (sp?????) on Roosevelt Road.  We've purchased flutes from him, and he is great with repairing them.

On Roosevelt just east of DesPlaines?

He IS amazing, but for repairs, he can be REEEEEEEALY slow.  I took a bass (stand-up 3/4) in to be fixed and it took over 4 months.  I think he's just extremely busy and as far as I know he does all the work himself.
