- About Me:
- I was chosen as a finalist for the Solo Players Flute Competition at Music Echoes in Ft Walton Beach FL this year and after an amazing 3 rounds of playing against 4 other finalists, I came in 2nd place. I play with my group Branches Breath in public at festivals and events around Indianapolis about 2-3 times a month, but also in small groups with other musicians or privately. I love the people it has connected me with and the creativity it allows. I have recently acquired a couple side-blown bamboo flutes, an anasazi and a very nice Shakuhachi by Perry Yung to try and expand my wind instrument horizons. Outdoor Interests, Alpine Skiing, Hiking, Camping, White Water Rafting, and spending anytime we can doing anything out west.

- Hi Jason, I am just a beginner With 4 flutes, all by different makers. Unfortunately, just as I was beginning my flute journey, I had some terrible problems with my upper teeth, and had to have them all pulled. It will be a long time before my mouth is of normal shape again, and right now I can only play one of the flutes. So right now I am concentrating on creating a new concept in flute bags. It is a process called felting where you use 100% wool yarn, knit a large piece using the pattern I created, then shrink it down. The end result is a solid pice of 1/4" wool with a flap closure and a handle. I am also making my own beaded flute wraps to match the bags. At least it keeps me busy until I can start to play again. Thanks for inviting me to be your friend.

- Hi! thanks for adding me, I have been well and truly bit by the flute making bug in just over 6 months I have made around 40 flutes in as many keys as I can ! but I like the contra bass flutes but unfortunately I dont have the equipment to make such large bore things so I have low C, D, E,F, mid E, F, F# in 7/8" bore and G# 1" bore right up to the teeny high G,
