OUR FLUTES

Our Flutes are individually handcrafted — one flute at a time. We work with traditional materials like, bone, tobacco, agave, carizzo and sunflower, as well as two or three sustainable hardwoods. We also use various leathers, ceramics, copper, silver, and shell. We source all we can locally, and believe wholeheartedly in sustainable, and ethical, fair trade.
