 I started making bamboo flutes in 1971. I learned to play my first flute while on a five day camping trip to the bottom of The Grand Canyon. The sounds of the flute echoing off half mile high cliff faces inspired my life's work.The flutes we make are decorated with a style unique to Sound Creations. We use a special woodburning technique, no two items are ever the same. The range of the flutes is two octaves and they are chromatic. The flutes are accurately tuned in specific keys. They range from E-flat above C5 to D above C4. (If you don't understand the technicalities don't worry about it). They come in eleven different sizes. We use cured bamboo imported from the orient to make our flutes. It is cured for years before I use it. This assures that the flutes will last a lifetime. We also make a Japanese style end blown flute called shakuhachi, a pentatonic meditation flute used by zen Buddhist to achieve spontaneity and harmony with nature.  Hear the
