Native American flutes

Our first Native American flute was purchased in 2003 during a year-long trip around the United States. Since our initial infatuation with this tranquil and haunting instrument, it has led us on adventures we never could have imagined. Sharing Native flute impressions with audiences around the country has been our passion and our motivation. Thank you for joining our musical journey.
