Emanuel Flutes Shop

Manuel (also known as Emanuel) Arista - brother of Miguel and Juan Arista, but a totally separate business - has been building instruments from his Boston workshop since 1978. Today’s Emanuel Flutes and headjoints are the product of his singular commitment to the art and craft of flute-making. 

Initially working for the Arista flute company, Emanuel introduced Emanuel Flute #1 in 1991 at the National Flute Association’s convention in Washington, D.C. At his first convention, he sold his first two flutes and was commissioned to make Emanuel Flute #3 for Gian-Luca Petrucci of Rome. In a successful finish to the company’s first year, Emanuel Flute #4 was purchased by Maxence Larrieu.
