Our flutes
You'll find on these pages a short explanation about our flutemaking method,
some pictures and a lot of infos about the native american flute...
The flutes shown here are probably sold, but don't be shy and ask us,
cause sometimes we may find an old one in a workshop corner, or under a table...
Anyhow, if you are interested in our work, go to the "for sale" page to see how to buy our flutes.
Our way
Our flutes are always unique pieces, made the most natural way, by hand,
following a sentiment, a vision or a spirit...
Some are born to tell a story, and others to heal or pray...
We are proud also to make special instruments, for special orders...
So feel free to contact us, and we'll try to make your flute.
Our tuning
Our flutes are tuned to the the popular minor pentatonic scale (mode 1 & 4),
and they are very easy to play, even if you are a beginner.
On the other hand, we do one's best to achieve the tuning,
so our flutes can be used by a recording artist too, soloist, or among others instruments...
But sometimes, on special request, we also like to offer one of a kind flutes,
not tuned to the modern standards,
but rather like the ancients did, following the flute itself...
These special instruments are able to play an unique song,
each note leading to the other in a wonderful harmony...
If you search flute for meditation or for singing with the birds ,this is what you need.
