Boaz Berney is a highly respected historical flute maker and woodwind restorer based in Montréal, Canada. His approach to replicating historical instruments is grounded in hands-on research — he only copies instruments he has personally measured and documented. This ensures attention to the subtleties of voicing, bore shape, and undercut tone holes that cannot be fully captured in technical drawings.
