I've been on a 15 year journey as a flute player and now the journey has taken a turn into flute making. I'm loving the discoveries as I deepen into Making flutes with presence and medicine. Types of Flutes I make:
I work primarily with Bamboo, making various styles of native flute:
- Quena / shakuhachi (Quena Mouthpiece with Shakuhachi tuning)
Easier to play than a shakuhachi and with a full, h
eartful South American voice.
- Native American Pentatonic Tuning (End and Side Blown)
Traditional Native American Scale on a side-blown flute sounds divine and very deep and heart felt.
- Side Blown Flutes in Major, Minor and exotic Keys
- Harmonic / Overtone Flutes
Played only with the breath, these flutes sound very mysterious and shamanic.
- Personalised Medicine Flutes made to order
Something special happens when a person asks me to make a flute especially for them. Something unique to them and that flute comes through and the result is always special. https://www.soundvillage.live/bamboo-flutes
Lessons:
Lessons are also available on any of these flutes (Plus circular Breathing)
Knowing the right things to practice and doing so daily deepens and embodies your connection to the flute through the body, the breath, muscle memory and the psyche. It attunes you to be a true and full channel for sound and presence to be expressed through your instrument. Lesson Delivery:
