Who We Are

In 2016 I was living on Maui and was starting to play the flute. I attended an ayahuasca ceremony where the person leading it played a double flute. The entire time he played I received a message to start making my own flutes. A few weeks later I was buying some simple tools and some wood to start trying to make one. In my first attempt I made something that played but needed a lot of refinement.
In 2017 I started selling flutes on Etsy and word of mouth always working to make them better in both sound and looks. |

In 2018 I created ElementalFlutes.com and have been ever evolving the flutes that I offer from Single Flutes to Mayan Temple Flutes to Triple Harmony Flutes.
After 7 years of learning and growing, I feel like I have settled into my making style which offers the most consistent sound, tuning and playability possible. |

In March of 2021 Dustin began seeking an apprentice to assist in expanding the reach of his art with the world. As fate would have it, Tyler was available to fill this opportunity. Since that time Tyler has studied under the patient guidance of Dustin and learned the ins and outs of his unique approach to this craft.

“Coming from the world of music…creating musical instruments was always something I dreamed about but never thought I would actually accomplish. Having the opportunity to learn from someone like Dustin…was like being taught by DaVinci himself…the guy is a true master of the craft and I believe his willingness to experiment and try different approaches is evolving the craft as a whole. Making and playing these functional works of art or spiritual technology as I like to call them has changed my life for the better and it is a true honor to serve this growing community.”
