Arabian Flute
 This is a melodic scale. Just run up and down the scale and it sounds like you have been playing this kind of music for years. It has a pinkie hole too. Consider the Arabian like the minor, going up and down the scale and stopping here and there.
A friend who didn't play that well once got up to my mike at the booth and played a delightful whispy feel with his breathy embroshure.It was great! It sounded like a movie. Get into the spirit of improvisation by slowly going up and down the scale then stopping here and there.
I can build this in Small, Medium and Large. The small is recommended for small hands, the medium is a bit big and the larger is just a bit bigger. I personally think the large one is incredible.
Flute playing is a journey. I wish you well, Erik.

Erik:
I received the small Arabian flute recently. Your craftsmanship is brilliant; every note is smooth and precise. This flute has helped me deal with the stress of university life, since I play it in a small forested area on campus, and has already become a favorite sound among a good portion of my fellow students. I sincerely thank you and your apprentice for the effort you have placed in creating these masterpieces for me. In a year, I plan to travel to Afghanistan to volunteer my services in a few villages outside Kabul. I will have my Arabian flute packed in a small bag, and I am hoping to bring joy and hope to the children of these war-torn villages. Kristin, Sept. 2007

Dear Erik,
Thanks for the Arabian flute. Its' elegantly simple looks belie it's charming and smooth sound. It's great for chilling out to and playing around the kitchen or at the beach. I'm not very experienced playing the side-blown flute, but after a couple of days of practice, I'm starting to get it.

Hi Erik! I just recieved my order 20 minutes ago - a large Arabian flute and a set of pan pipes. I am over the moon! They are so lovely and well-made. Thank you so much! They're easier to play than I thought they'd be...What a haunting sound. Thanks again Erik! I've charmed every snake in the neighborhood! Pan pipes are so cool, too. Keep up the good work!

Hey Erik,
I got the medium Arabian flute today and it is absolutely amazing, I love it already! I really appreciate the effort you put into making it. I think it plays beautifully and has a really rich tone.
My Flute teacher, Professor Dorris Keogh, said that is a brilliant flute and I should be proud to own it!
Thanks again for all your help and work.

Hi! Got my beautiful medium Arabian flute, and I am so proud! It sounds beautiful, and the carving is incredibly pretty. Even managed to charm my kittens with it! Thankyou very very much.

Erik,
My flute was waiting for me when I got home. What a wonderful way to end
the week. . I will DEFINATELY be getting more of your flutes. I am thrilled with the power from this little Arabian. I have received the second beautiful Arabian flute. It has such an amazing range, with the depth and mellow voice of a cello.Yours is truly a gift to behold.
Thank you so much!
Kind blessings to you and your family,

Hi Erik,
Of course, feel free to use whatever you like from my comments. The more
people who discover how good your flutes are the better. I'm really finding the flutes good. The fingers are becoming more fluid and the second octave is gradually becoming easier. They arrived today in perfect condition. I tried the Arabian flute first. Ha! Just like your description on the website, when you run your fingers up in a scale you sound like an instant arabian master! Nice finish, and the little finger hole on the
side adds a new feel to playing.
Best Wishes to you and your family, Jeff Barton in Dorset, England
