Laotian Flamewood Gm
# 04221
Free Domestic Shipping
$405.00This instrument is 19-9/16” in length, with a 1” bore diameter. I will never build another flute from this material again. It is one of the most difficult hardwoods (rosewood) on the planet and this flute alone destroyed two router bits, 40 #11 Exacto blades, and a Japanese pull saw.,,,,,moving...

Laotian Flamewood Gm…

Free Domestic Shipping
$315.00This 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...

Oklahoma Cedar Gm
# 04212
Free Domestic Shipping
$375.00I haven’t worked with cedar in about 11 years, primarily because I don’t much care for the voice produced by a soft wood. The large cellular voids generate a softer tone than I care for. At one point I tried hardening aspects of the build to create the tonal elements of a hardwood. Then Robert...

Oklahoma red cedar Am/F#m
# 61101
Free Domestic Shipping
$660.00I’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...

Oregon Myrtle burl Fm… (SOLD)
# 3201
Free Domestic Shipping
$890.00During 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....

Oregon Myrtle F#m…. (SOLD)

Free Domestic Shipping
$720.00This 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...

Oregon Poplar F#m
# 07211
Free Domestic Shipping
$375.00Ecstatic to become a flute, and not a birdhouse or whatever folks build with poplar, it is not one of my favorite tone woods….because it sounds too much like, ..well…..poplar, and by extension, red cedar as well. I’m trying to get over it. The material is best known for making paper and cardboard...

Paldao Fm…
# 4201
Free Domestic Shipping
$440.00According to Dr. Google, I’m the only flute maker in the world using this SE Asian hardwood. I should probably find out why. It remains one of my top 5 favorite tone woods. It is however, an interior accent wood in the 12 million dollar Rolls Royce Sweptail vehicle.
This instrument is 22”...
