Favorite Flute


This is my favorite "personel" flute. If I could only have one, this would probably be the one I would keep. It's also the first wooden flute I made and perhaps that is partly what makes it my favorite. It's made of western cedar, is in the key of G#, has a finish of beeswax and oil, and breaks about every flute making "rule" there is. But is still a nice sounding instrument.

RunningbearFlutes.com

Hello to all my fellow flute making friends.
Hope everone had a great New Year and a safe one.
Well I finally got my flute page up and running http://runningbearflutes.com but its not done as yet.
I have 2 or 3 more pages to add to it before it is finished. I hope to be back on Pal-Talk with all of you guys soon, But as of right now things are a little rough around the edges, But ole Runningbear will be back in the pocket soon this thing can't keep me down its just a small rock in the road so I can go around or step over it. Not much this time on the blog I will have more to add next time. Thanks Doug for getting this blog going.
Walk in peace.
