Darren Cook
An experienced flutist, Darren has been repairing flutes for over 30 years. Darren also has a private flute studio and plays as a freelance flutist and member of the Vancouver USA Symphony as Piccolo and Assistant Principal Flute.
Darren first learned flute repair studying with the late and legendary flute repair technician Robert Gilchrist. After receiving his degree in flute performance from the Harid Conservatory of Music, he overhauled his 1943 Powell and took it to Powell flute maker Tom Sears, who declared "great job, it's perfect." Darren went on to spend a couple decades in a programming career, but continued providing flute repair services by word of mouth and for students of Coda Flutes. Darren's decades of experience in programming and flute playing combine to help his problem-solving and innovation in flute repair.
Darren is Straubinger Certified, Muramatsu Certified, and a JS Engineering Gold Pad Technician.
