Custom Made For You Your Native American Flute will be made especially for you. If you need help deciding which flute size or wood type is the best choice for you, call (Phone: 417-535-6032) or email. We'd love to hear from you. 5 Hole Flute vs 6 Hole Flute We can make you a 5 hole flute but we prefer a 6 hole flute. The basic fingering pattern for a 6 hole flute, is exactly the same as a 5 hole flute. When you first start playing your 6 hole flute, you will leave the 3rd hole from the top, covered all the time. As you progress in your playing, you will want the benefit that the additional hole on a 6 hole flute will give you. Our book "Getting To Know Your Native American Flute", will teach you how to take care of your flute and how to play it. Tone and Wood Choice The tone of a Native American Flute is determined in part by the type of wood used. The softer woods (cedar,sassafras etc...) produce a warmer tone. The harder woods (red heart, osage orange etc...) produce a brighter tone. Tone is not volume. It is the texture of the sound. We offer you a large selection of wood choices. Cedar(s) Hard Woods  Exotic Woods  Curly Woods  Rare Woods  Concert Quality, A440 Tuned Your flute will be tuned using an electronic tuner to ensure that it has concert quality pitch. This will enable you to play along with other instruments.   Not electronically altered ~ Flute Sound Samples The natural rich warm sound of a Native American Flute touches the soul of all those who hear it. It is our experience that each individual responds to different keys. Discovering which key calms you, is easy on our website. Our sound samples DO NOT have any effects added to them. Our flutes sound exactly like this naturally (Clear, Crisp, Loud, Non-breathy, & No air hiss). Our flutes will sound this way for you when you play them at home. Your flute will produce this rich, clean quality sound and have tremendous volume, without a microphone. Your Internet Access Speed and Flute Sound Files Aol, Prodigy, etc...

About Your Wood Choice The Joy of Wood Shopping "Most of our hardwoods and exotics we purchase from a speciality store about an hour away from our home. We hand pick each piece. We look for unique and beautiful grain patterns as well as exceptional color. I have a blast when we go wood shopping. I'm like a kid in a candy store. Soooooo... many beautifully grained pieces of wood to choose from. We always come away with much more wood that we went to buy. Some pieces of wood, I "just can't resist". They just beg to be made into a flute. For our Eastern Cedar and Sassafras wood, we buy it from a local Ozark man. We trust his judgment and he always sends us beautiful pieces. Some of our rare and exotic woods, we purchase from other sources around the country and Hawaii. I just "love" to go wood shopping." ~~ Lisa Fretwell Availability of Unique Woods Most wood will make a wonderful flute. Email or call us (417-535-6032) about the availability of woods not shown on our website such as: Koa, Curly Koa, Honey Mesquite, Black Mesquite, Quina, Wenge, Spanish Cedar, Redwood, Sapele, Quilted Sapele, Rose woods, & Quatersawn woods. Pieces of Wood Special to You We encourage you to do some internet window shopping for unique wood. If you find a piece of wood that you like, we will make your flute from that piece. If you have a piece of wood that's special to you, send it to us and we will make your flute from that piece. FYI - Wood - Natural Colors and Grain Patterns We have taken great care with our website images so that they are a good representation of the "true" color and grain patterns of the wood choices we offer. Wood naturally varies from piece to piece. The grain pattern and the shade of the color are things that vary slightly from piece to piece. We do not stain our flutes. The colors you see in our website images are what the wood looks like naturally. 3 Commonly asked Questions and Answers Q: What woods are the softest and produce the most warm tone?
