Welcome to Erik the Flutemaker, Davie, United States . At Erik the Flutemaker we make and sell many handmade bamboo wind instruments like Oriental flutes, Native American Style flutes, Panpipes, Pan flutes, Pennywhistles and the Bamboo Sax. Please take your time, browse through my flute shop... read a few articles about flutes, like the History of the flute and the Parable of the Flutemaker... and enjoy your visit. If you would like something from our SECURE shopping cart, don't let me stop you! After 36 years of flutemaking, I have had the privilege of recording 5 Cds. You can hear a sample of my Bamboo music here. Our Bamboo flutes come in major, minor, pentatonic and exotic scales.  There are 3 bamboo instrument styles or finishes. Natural, Dark and Carved and the Starry Night.  I make side blown flutes and end blown flutes. Concert tuned in A440 for professionals and less expensive, non concert flutes for the passionate flute novice.
If you want to relax and be creative I recommend the deep Oriental flute, The Kiowa Love Flute is soulful and prayerful and easy to blow. The Andean sounds are found in the Quena and the Andean Pan Pipes. I recommend the Irish Penny Whistle in D and the Low Irish Flute in D for Celtic, Irish music. We make minor scale flutes that is more renaissance. Some of our flutes are end blown and some side blown. Some have fipples like a Tin Whistle. Our Exotic flutes and exotic scales include The Meditation Flute, The Poet's Flute, The Egyptian and Arabian Flute.  
At Erik the Flutemaker, Davie we have a Kid's section called the Kid's Corner with bird whistles, bird flutes and Kid's bamboo flutes in Major and Minor scales. Also great for the beginner and the well trained performer, is the Irish Penny Whistle. It was the penny whistle that played the themes in Braveheart, Titanic and Lord of the Rings.  The Penny Whistle came over to America on the early ships from Europe. The next great Penny Whistle invasion was the River Dance. We make wood and bamboo penny whistles in the keys of D C Bb and A. I also believe that we should all be doing something to help out somewhere, and invite you to see out missionary flute page.I have been making Bamboo Saxophones for 18 years. They are so cool and come in Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Baritone. Some come out professionally tuned in the keys of D, Bb, G and F. Our Pan Pipes are in Major and Pentatonic scales. The Pan Flute in the Major scale is good to copy tunes. The Pan Pipe in the Pentatonic scale is fun, easy and creative, the Karate Kid sound.
My How To Video and DVD is a great tool to get you going. Some folks get "Bamboo Sax 101 and the Art of Bamboo Flute Playing" to decide which flute or sax they might want. With three and a half decades of flute making and playing I am pleased to share my secrets on bamboo instruments with everyone. Follow along on a sub tropical bamboo harvest and visit the flute makers' shop. Enjoy the zany spiel and the story of my beginnings. This video covers the fundamentals to enhance your enjoyment of these bamboo instruments.
