Leonard Lopatin
Leonard Lopatin is a US flutist, flute maker and designer of the SquareONE family of flutes.
Career[edit]
Lopatin studied with Harold Bennett at the Manhattan School of Music and then with Arthur Lora at the Juilliard School of Music. He was awarded the Bachelor of Music degree in flute performance in 1976. In that same year, he was named third flute and piccolo in the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra.[1][2] After three full seasons, he moved to Boston to learn flute making. While in Boston, he performed with the Boston Symphony Orchestra,[3] the Boston Pops Orchestra, and the Opera Company of Boston.
Lopatin is the designer of the SquareONE flute, a concert flute with square tone holes covered by square cups, made to the Lopatin Scale.[4] He also designed and produces the SquareONE alto flute, SquareONE piccolo, and SquareONE Semi-Professional flute. Two recordings, Squarely in the Holiday Spirit! (2008)[5] and Squarely Baroque (2009)[6] feature Lopatin playing his concert and alto SquareONE flutes, and "demonstrate that this instrument merits serious consideration .... and that Leonard Lopatin deserves to be taken seriously as a performer as well as a flute-maker."[6]
