CLICK ON LINKS TO PLAY SAMPLES *****PRICE INCLUDES S/H VIA PRIORITY MAIL OR UPS***** I am ramping up production of Shadow Hawk flutes, now that I’m retired and doing more shows and having the time to make more flutes. Ugly Boys are like playable art, with their fancy woods, finishes, etc. Shadow Hawks and Half-Pipes are worthy adversaries, as I make the sound mechanism only one way. I’d take any of these into the studio to record, hands down. I simply refer to these as Ugly Boys in a plain brown wrapper. HALF-PIPES are literally just that: half of a round bore flute with a flat bottom. Haven’t made them in YEARS, but starting to, and now dabbling with some lower keys, which presents some physics issues. Except for the high keys, they have the mellowest of tones, and you can feel the vibration through your thumbs on the flat bottom. KNITTING NEEDLE FLUTES are new and still somewhat at the prototype/experimental stage, but I’ve sold the remaining ones and may posting some others later. The sound mechanism is wood, just like the flutes (only a LOT smaller) and the rest is either Bates #14 plastic knitting needles (blue) or Bates #17 plastic knitting needles (pink). The playing barrels are removable to create a VERY compact flute for travel. Wood prices, shipping costs, and payment fees have gone WAY up, so I’ve had to adjust prices and also add the more affordable Spruce to the line-up. I am now offering much lower keys. Two Shadow Hawks can be mailed together and one shipping fee will be removed. Inquire with any questions or to see what’s coming soon…don’t be shy!
