Single Double Triple Triple Harmony
|
|
|
|
The first step is to choose whether you would like a single, double triple or triple harmony flute. Check out my Videos Page to hear what each of these kinds of flutes sound like. For a beginner, I would recommend learning on a single flute unless you feel really called to a double flute. Double and Triple flutes are great for those looking to add variety and uniqueness to your collection.
|
Choosing the key is next. For beginners I recommend the keys of A, G or F#. These are great keys to learn on as the spacing of the holes on these flutes is close enough together not to strain your fingers and small enough to make covering the holes with the pads of your fingers easy.
Along with the Key you will need to decide which frequency you would like your flute tuned to - 440 or 432 Htz. 440 is ideal for those who would like to easily play with other people, as most instruments made today are tuned to 440 Htz. 432 Htz is a healing frequency in relationship to the schumann resonance or earths natural vibration. |

Choosing a Wood
|
After selecting a key and frequency, it is now time to choose your wood. The flute can be made in one single kind of wood or a combination of two or more woods. I source the Hawaiian woods from a friend on Maui - he is a furniture maker and reserves the offcuts (extras) of his projects for my use.
I also use local woods around NC, where I currently live. Hawaiian Woods available include: Koa, Monkey Pod and Mango. Local Woods include: Maple, Walnut, Camphor and Aromatic Cedar. To get a more information on each type of wood I offer, check out my Woods Page. |

I craft each flute from my beautiful home in Western North Carolina, using nature as my inspiration through the design process. I really enjoy connecting with each person - getting to know them and working with them to bring their vision to life.
These flutes are made to order and will take about 6 - 8 weeks to complete to allow for oils to cure.

If there are any additions to the selected options below, I will connect with you to go over the price and make sure that we are both clear on your design idea.
I use all natural oil on my flutes with a final coat of an all natural wax that I create using Beeswax, Carnauba Wax, Tung Oil and a mix of essential oils.
Each flute comes with a simple flute bag made by my wife.
