FLUTES FOR SALE
Here you will find my
latest creations for purchase. All Ollin Native American style Flutes are made from a single
piece of wood that is bored out and not routed and glued
together. This produces a consistent grain pattern and no seam
lines. Flutes are finished with 3 coats of
tung oil. The inside of the slow air chamber and foot are oiled
for protection from moisture build up. All flutes are tuned into pitch @ A440
using a digital tuner. I burn all finger holes rather than
drill them as this procedure adds a tight feel to the holes and
imparts an aesthetic beauty. All basic flutes come with a basic
stylized bird block.
I also offer "anatomical flutes". These
are flutes which are crafted using body measurements and are not
tuned to concert pitch. Curiously, flutes created in this
traditional manner are roughly in the key of F#m.
Occasionally I will offer
bamboo flutes. These unique flutes will truly be one of a kind
as no two pieces of bamboo are alike. Keep your eyes open!
Please Note: I am currently only able to offer my flutes
for sale to local customers in the Central Florida area. If you
live in the Orlando area and are interested in my flutes, please
Contact Me.
Also Note: I am willing to travel up to 2 hrs from
Orlando to deliver a flute to you or you may meet me half way if
you wish!
Currently for sale is this
jatoba wood flute in the key of F#m. This flute features a
beautiful semi-gloss polyurethane finish that really shows of
the wonderful grain of the wood. The endcap consists of a
hackberry ring which adds a subtle accent that contrasts nicely
against the rich sienna hue of the jatoba. Measuring in at 21
1/4" in length with a 7/8" inner bore, this flute has a sweet
and full tone with a slight "warble" in the lower registers and
a clear and prominent character in the higher ranges. All finger
holes have been "burned in" and not drilled to size leaving a
nice feel and distinct look. The "rounded square" mouthpiece
provides comfort and ease of play which responds well to
embouchure. The maple block is a simple stylized bird design
also finished in semi-gloss polyurethane and tied with a genuine
black leather thong. You may view more images in the
slideshow
below.
Price: $240.00

Two more bamboo
flutes (both in Am) in the process of dryng.Both have
had 1 coat of tung oil at this point.
When
I set out to make a bamboo flute, I forget about the key
as each piece of bamboo is different. These two are from
the same piece of bamboo (sisters!) and turned out to be
in the key of Am. The top flute has a brighter tone than
the bottom one, which is a bit louder and has a mellower
tone.
Bamboo flute in G# .$150.00
This flute is in the key of G#m and is made from bamboo.
The buffalo is made from Epe wood and the block is
maple. It has been finished with several coats of tung
oil and a primer coat of an orange oil and beeswax
mixture. SOLD!
Isa 30:29
You will have songs as in the night when you keep the festival;
And gladness of heart as when one marches to [the sound of] the
flute, To go to the mountain of the LORD, to the Rock of Israel.
Job 21:12
They sing to the timbrel and harp And rejoice at the sound of
the flute.
