We are fortunate to have an abundance of timbers from the areas around where we live which all lend themselves perfectly to the making of smooth and resonant sounding flutes. Each wood has its own characteristics in this area, making some more suitable for certain keys than others. Occasionally we come across unique specimens of these timbers which have striking patterns and features, these we save for specially custom made flutes. If you're interested in a special piece of wood for your own flute, please ask and we'll let you know what we have on hand at the time.
