    Woods used at the mouthpiece include redwood burl,...

    This instrument is 19-9/16” in length, with a 1” bore diameter. I will never build another flute from this material again.

    This instrument is 19-3/4 inches in length, with a 7/8 inch bore diameter. The build was challenging, as this true rosewood is extremely dense, and not unlike building a flute from cement.

    Woods used at the mouthpiece include old growth redwood burl capped with the flamewood, while the fetish...

    I’m no marketing genius, and I can prove it. This flute has interchangeable barrels, and wet-out wicking, so with one headstock and two barrels, one flute gets you two keys, and you can play them for hours.  I didn’t invent this, and mine don’t come in a fancy presentation box, but mine are...

    During my 18 years of building these instruments, a very few (six in total) make me think, based on voice and appearance, that I must have channeled somebody else during construction. This is one of those instruments.

    This flute is 23” in length, with a 7/8” bore diameter, tuned to Fm....

    This was an interesting build, with many levels of construction. Before addressing the components, I want to point out a couple of the stones used for inlay. Specifically, at the mouthpiece, is a 9x12mm “dragon skin” ammolite cab. Ammolite, is the harvested interior shell of a nautilus, or Ammonite...
