Cocobolo flute
Cedar 5 Hole Flute
The Native American Flute to me is the most beautiful sounding instrument in the world. I never intended to
become a flute maker. When I started making flutes many years back, there were few flute makers. Today the
popularity of the flute has risen immensely and there are many great flute makers to choose from. One thing I still find
lacking though is a simple & cheap beginner's flute that are still made out of wood. I believe that my style of flute here
that I use for my school classes & demonstrations fits this niche. They are of a one piece "bored" construction & hold
up better then the normal 2 piece type flute. Some today even call this style a backpackers flute. I still make my hand
carved 2 piece flutes, but for special orders only. My main interest for years now has not been in selling flutes but in
teaching children the love of the flute & music in my demonstrations & school classes. Any sales I make these days is
simply to help defray the costs of this endeavor, since every class I teach receives a flute, my book & CDs.

Owing that my late wife took care of this site & our physical store, many items are no
longer available. All beading was done by her and is limited to on hand of course. I am
discontinuing the plastic flute line when present supply runs out. Please contact me for
availability of all items. Standard flutes are available but I am not accepting any special
order flutes anymore.

The Native American Flute that is so popular today is actually a marriage of the flute made in the Western hemisphere
for thousands of years with the Pentatonic scale used in Europe & elsewhere in the world. These flutes here, as in
most all 5 hole & 6 hole flutes you will see today, are either a mode (1) 5 hole or mode (1 & 4) 6 hole combination.
There are a few flute makers who sell or make what is sometimes called a Grandfather scale. This was not just one
scale, there were numerous depending on the maker. Most could be described as a whole note scale, or close to a
Diatonic scale.
