Ordering Information
Nearly all of my flutes are made to order, so it's rare that I have much in the way of inventory to offer for general sale. However, if you need a flute in a specific time frame, please don't hesitate to call or email me. I will do by best to accommodate your needs.
The time frame for new orders can run from just a couple of weeks, out to six or eight weeks, depending on the number of pending orders. The usual time frame is about four weeks. The months leading up to the Holiday Season are generally busier.
I make flutes in all keys, spanning more than two octaves. Alternate tunings are also available. All of my flutes will have an alternate scale within the primary tuning. For example: a flute tuned to a minor pentatonic "G" will also have a complete "Bb" major (do, re, mi...) scale within the "G" minor. This opens up a lot of music for the player.
Prices for mid-range flutes start around $175.00. Bass flutes are in the $350.00 range, and contra-bass side-blown flutes start around $450.00.
The lowest bass flute I make is a side-blown contra-bass "D" for $595.00. It is approximately 39-1/2 inches long with an outside bore diameter of 2-5/8 inches.
Keep in mind that some of the exotic wood species can add substantially to the cost of a flute.
Drones, triples and quads are also available.
All flutes must meet the client's expectations.
