Hand-Made

Flutes for Traditional Music

My flutes are made from raw materials in the Pratten style. I use ethically-sourced exotic hardwoods (typically African Blackwood and Mopane) with Sterling silver keys and rings. Key mounts on my flutes are wooden (intrinsic to the flute body) and you choose the number and type of keys desired. If you’re not quite ready for keys, I can make you a keyless with the mounts so that keys can be added later. Keyless models with no mounts are also available. My flutes are three piece (single piece body) and have a tuning slide. Joints use thin cork sheet. Most common pitch is “concert D” but other keys can be made. Send me an email if you would like additional information.
