I began to make handcarved Native American Style Flutes in 2011, in Aromatic Western Red Cedar, which goes under the name of Dream Flutes.
All my flutes are tuned in Concert minor scale, but are meant to be played in the traditional pentatonic scale.

My flutes comes in a range from low Eb minor to high C minor. Low ranged flutes (F-Eb) are around 70 cm long and have a beautiful deep, rich tone. Middle range flutes(G-F) are around 60 cm and high ranged flutes(C-A) are ca 50 cm long.

I also love composing music and have done so since I was 11 years old.
With my new instruments I recorded the CD - Blue skies.
The Cd has eight calming, meditative tracks with the Native American Style Flute along with harp and sounds of the nature.

New flute


I just made an attemt to go outside and begin to make another flute. But after only 2 minutes, I gave up. It must have been over 50 degrees C out in the backroom, where my workstation is located. Way TOOOO hot. I don't feel like being cooked like a little prawn. But I thought I make another attemt tonight.

But I managed to take a photo of my E minor flute. It is in Cedar wood and has a gorgeous deep tone. All my flutes are tuned in A 440, which is a standard here in Australia. (Back home in Sweden you tune your instruments to A442 or A443.)

The flute has my newest carving. My wave carving. This is made out of the jarrah wood I mentioned in my last post. It still needs a few coats of varnish.
