Introductory Flutes
My Introductory flutes are uniformly 3/4″ bore, Western Red Cedar flutes. Usually tuned as an A4, these flutes are distinguished by the lack of a tenon mouthpiece, embellishments or complex block designs. They ARE well tuned and as such, have my maker’s mark wood burned above a unique flute number and key on the underside of the mouth end. These are designed to be quality instruments which happen to be affordable.
### – Western Red Cedar, A4; $129
This is an example of an Introductory flute with a hand-crafted fleece sleeve. The block typically is topped with a thin layer of wood for decorative purposes which is on a layer of Western Cedar. The bottom layer is always unfinished Eastern Red Cedar. These flutes are usually less than 19″ long. The finish is polymerized Tung Oil followed by shellac I personally mix.

The block has a Rosewood / Amboyna burl figure (Kingman Turquoise inlay heart lines) on Dogwood / Brazilian Rosewood / Eastern Red Cedar. Three narrow bands of Kingman Turquoise (one below the nest; two below the finger holes) serve as simple but elegant accents.
Historically, this wood has perhaps been the species most frequently associated with the term “rosewood,” and with its strength, hardness, stability, beauty, and acoustic properties, it’s easy to understand why Dalbergia nigra has been used for everything from flooring to xylophone keys.
Due to high demand and limited supply of Brazilian rosewood, and its continued exploitation, it has been in the most restrictive category of endangered species. Not only is the lumber restricted from being imported or exported from country to country, but even finished products made of Brazilian rosewood may not cross international boundaries.
