SEMI-RETIREMENT FINALLY!!!

I have decided to take a leap of faith and pursue semi-returement. Thus I am no longer going to be taking formal orders for my flutes requiring a deposit. If you are interested I can put your name down on a waiting list but I cannot guarantee that I will ever get around to your order. The last 43 years has been a good run with an estimated 5000 instruments produced.

I am still planning to innovate in the workshop, pursuing a few collaborative projects with other artisans, as well as prove that Crystal Flutes similar to the ones made by Claude Laurent can be made again. I will also have the occasional flute, including ones my clients want to find new homes for, used flutes and other instrument listed individually at my Traditional Flutes website.

Meanwhile, if you seek an instrument I can put your name and data down on a list. You might want to keep an eye out for my flutes in the used market. I am also hoping to influence a few of my colleagues to consider making small handed ergonomic flutes based on my designs. The younger generation of flute makers are producing some lovely instruments!

Currently I am working away on the very last batch of 25 Folk Flute orders that have accumulated since February. These will be shipped by the end of September. After these flutes are finished I have only 11 other flutes with tuning slides and some with keys to finish. I hope to ship all of these out by the end of the year. I greatly appreciate the patience of my waiting queue members! Thank You!
