Howdy, and welcome to the site.
As has been the case for the past two years, the site's most active day-to-day component is the blog/journal beginning just below. Note that although I'm in the business of making and selling bamboo flutes and other wind instruments, there is no price list. Every piece is one-of-a-kind with no standardization of offerings, since I'm more interested in bamboo instruments' uniquely organic, individualistic character. The goal is to fashion each piece into its own optimal instrument, so it's nice not to be pressured by a regular "line" of products.
Although I'm willing to make flutes in specific keys or styles when possible, ideally prospective customers will have some flexibility, and in that case we can work with the best available material at a given time. Please do inquire about possible commissions or available completed instruments if you're interested, and thanks for visiting!
About the blog/journal below: blogwriting is odd, in that it's a sort of backwards mentality. For a new reader, starting with the most recent entries is akin to reading a book from its last page, in reverse. There's a lot of relevant musical and flute information and pictures in the journal, most of which is buried here and there in the archives. We probably should excavate the archives and get them catalogued and referenced so that useful information--as opposed to silly, self-indulgent role-playing and rants--can be more readily located.
Anyway, much of this site's less ancient (non-blog) material is in the information >> instruction category above, including a tablature system specifically designed to work with my minor-scale flutes; this tablature scheme will eventually be expanded to cover other types/scales of flute. The "introduction to bamboo flutes" subsection mainly covers matters of sound production and tonal refinement. Feedback on anything here is welcome; this site is destined to be an ongoing work in progress, and interaction will be helpful in its development. Thanks for visiting, and enjoy your tour!
One more thing: When sending an email, indicate clearly in your subject box that it's a pertinent message: about music, instruments, adoration, or whatnot. I get much mindless spam, and am very deft with the "delete" button!
If you scroll down from here, the rabbit hole is thataway...
Testing extended entry block...why does this not work?
