The Armstrong brand has been around since 1931, since reputable craftsman William Teasdale Armstrong founded a small flute repair shop in Elkhart, Indiana, later passing his heritage to son Edward, who addressed the need to make instruments for student and community musicians. With the help of British flute maker Albert Cooper, Armstrong developed and created a much improved flute with the correct pitch, alterations, and tune. The company was sold in 1984 to what was now known as Conn-Selmer, Inc. The brand currently offers a range of student and step-up flute models for flutists, novices, and professionals alike.
