Thanks for the unique F# harmonic drone...wow,
its clear, loud voice and gentle tone make it
a keeper for sure! Can't wait to record with
it on the new CD, "A Tribute to the Flute
Makers". This flute deserves a tribute!

I just wanted you to know that the Raven Drone
Flute arrived safely yesterday but I was too
busy admiring it to send off a message. It is
a magnificent instrument--it's beautiful with
the exquisite woodburning and sounds wonderful.
My partner Kevin is also amazed at the sound
and plans to accompany me with his guitar. I
was surprised that the flute has such a wonderful
aroma of cedar-and beeswax Your tape is great
too! Hearing what you and your flutes can do
is very inspiring. It has been a pleasure for
me in our dealings and I am quite sure that
I will call upon you again for another flute
in the future.

Gary, just got home from work & found your
harmony flute waiting for me. It arrived in
great shape, and was exactly as you described
it, except where you advertised it as being
for experienced players. I've only been playing
for about 6 months, but had no problems learning
to play it in just a couple of hours. It's a
beautiful instrument, perfectly tuned, and easy
to play, even for someone with only limited
experience. I would also like to praise your
excellent choice of woods and workmanship. It's
a flawless instrument, and your wife's decorations
are superb. I'm sure that I will buy from you
again. Thanks for the great flute and gracious
service. Best! - Ron
P.S. please feel free to give my email address

- to anyone considering the purchase of
one of your flutes, and I'll be happy to provide
a personal recommendation.
I only had a little time to sound the flute,
and I love it!! It's going to take a bit to
learn how to modulate my breath, but I got the
most wonderful tones. It sure does sing. And
the cedar is so fragrant! Its like standing
in a forest. One thing I really like is the
way the flute vibrates when it sounds...
The flute and the fetish are spectacular. Thanks
for letting us share your gifted talents.

This is so unreal, even for a seasoned flute
player like myself. I get all 3 drone notes
in combination with any & all melody notes
now. I have a few drone flutes, but none of
them compare with this one, they are NOT even
close. For right now I just wanted you to know
all is well here with your flute, & to thank
you for making it for me. I have to be honest
here, I knew this was my flute when I saw it,
& at that point I didn't even realize it
was more than a regular flute, & wondered
why I had those feelings, as I have several
regular NA flutes, New Old, Fancy & Plain.
The flute got here. It looks and sounds beautiful.
I am really, REALLY happy with it! Now......to
play! I also found your tape to be wonderful....I
was impressed with your playing skills as well
as your ability to give birth to a beautiful
looking and high quality flute--you're a very
talented man! Keep in touch!
I received the flute today. It is more beautiful
than in the photos and sounds as beautiful as
you said. Thank you for creating such a beautiful
work of art. I hope to learn to play well enough
to do justice to it. You have been wonderful
to work with!
We got the flute the other day. Just wanted
to let you know how happy we are with it. It
is beautiful and the sound is really lovely.
What a wonderful gift to bring such awesome
sounds to life thru your flutes. Thanks for
your beautiful work.
The flute has wonderful spirit. I think it is
wonderful that you have been blessed with the
ability (and choose to use it) to create such
beautiful, well tuned instruments for us. The
hole placement is great for a bass. It is so
easy to play and very responsive. We get along
well together!
Of all the drones I saw, yours is the only one
I wanted. I couldn't stop thinking about that
flute. Then, I couldn't believe my eyes! It
was up for auction. I was so excited, and afraid
of being outbid! I knew your flute would fetch
a good price. By God's grace, those other people
did not recognize what they were bidding on.
I can assure you I wanted that flute the most
and would have bid higher. I'm so happy to have
won and I'm glad you are happy for me. Your
flutes are beautiful.
The flute arrived today in WONDERFUL shape and
I thank you very much. MANY thanks for such
a beautiful creation. The tape looks great,
too!
