"The Arabian Whistle"
Made from exotic wood prepared by our engineers with a
wonderful head joint giving 2 good and clear octaves. It is easy to blow because of the fipple mouthpiece.
And by just going up and down the scale it sounds like
you have been playing this flute for ages.
I actually waited 30 years for an apprentice. I was blessed to have Leo come by my side.
He is now my associate. Enjoy the video it was inside my heart and mind for a while and
thanks to talented movie maker Louie Moreno we bring you,
"The Beautiful Apprentice".

Tropical Greetings from Erik the flutemakers
A cool melodic jazzy scale. Anything you do sounds great. This is not a major scale so you won’t be playing songs, but you will be improvising some cool laid back groovin’ jazz. Good for the novice who just wants to play jazz and not spend 10 years learning it.
Flute playing is uplifting and will take you to new heights.

Cave Dweller's Song
The original flute was found in a cave and now sits in The Arizona State Museum in Tucson. It is said that this flute style was Cocopeli's flute that was drawn on cliff walls and caves.
In the spring of 2009 while Erik walked around his bamboo plantation singing and playing his guitar early in the morning, a mocking bird burst out in song near him right in key. The bird stayed around for a few weeks and some recordings were made with the above flutes. Enjoy!
"Won't you pick up the phone" Listen to the Brazilian Major and Tenor Bamboo Sax, in this touching improvisation.
