Hello to you reading this thinking about buying one of his Flute.
YOU WILL not be dissapointed.
I am a professional player / teacher of the Native American Flute and have few flutes for there sound and indeed type of woods there made from.
I am very particular about how they are made and to what sound i am looking for.
In the end i had to visit him ( Phil as i now know him ).
I can tell within one breath wether the flute is playable or not. In this case i was very plesently suprised. It does every thing you want it to do when you desire the sound you have in your head to translate it through the wood.
I had been looking for some time for an F sharp and have almost come close to buying some thing that is near to my standard, but i have not. Luckely for me i waited and waited until i met Phil and played his Flutes.
I BOUGHT THE F sharp i had been looking for.
After our meeting i took it to where i live which is Glastonbury and played this in the Abbey where i am a regular vistor to the Chapel were the sound quality is out of this world. I blessed the Flute and the maker before i started and then it sang.
This man has found his gift to all people who love the Native American sound.


My word is true for i am Cloudsong.

Hi I have just bought two flutes from Phil, his flutes are beautiful to the eye as to the ear. A true artsian I am looking forward to playing his flutes to the standard they deserve . Thanks.

A friend wanted me to buy a flute for him and teach him to play it.
I decided on Cedar or Fir as being ideal for a beginner and the obvious place to look first was Flutes of the Forest.

As it happened, he had both available and I chose the Fir - plus I couldn't resist adding another one of Phil's flutes for myself.

Quick delivery as always and another beautiful flute that played sweetly and pure bringing my total to 5 Flutes of the Forest. Where will it end?

I urge anyone contemplating a new flute - whether it be a first or another for a collection - check those available on Phil's site. All are superb craftsmanship and I am certain you will not be disappointed.

Thanks again Phil

well Phil I now have my third flute from you, it came today. Each flute is individual each plays so well this one has a lovels sweet tone and has a wonderful feel to it. the flute will be great for travelling and will take it on my travels.
The question is will I buy another one from you, well I wouldnt be surprised.
thanks again for sharing your skills as a flute maker with all of us who are blessed with one of your flutes.
Play in peace

Love the site Phil, all looks really good, keep it up. All the best, Kev & Shaz

Flute number 4 from Phil - bringing my collection to a straight two dozen!

Oak and Ash woods - being very connected to the ancient Celts - make a good combination for my ceremonial & Earth Medicine work.

As with the other flutes from Phil - this one is beautifuly made. I only have one other in this high key of A and find this one a particularly pure and sweet sound, I know that it will be a favourite of mine for my work.

I was playing the Oak, Ash & Thorn from Phil, up on Dartmoor recently, when a man and his wife came over to compliment the beautiful sound of this instrument that he hadn't heard before. The sound must have travelled for a good 100 yards. During our talk I found that he was a music teacher, composer and performer on the guitar and concert flute - so praise indeed for the sound of Phils flute.

Can I stop at 4 flutes from Phil? I rather doubt it.

This is a truly beautiful crafted flute made from American black walnut. The tone is delightfully mellow. I have several flutes which I use for my own spiritual practise and in retreat work. This flute has already become a firm favourite and I will undoubtedly be purchasing another from Phil. If you are thinking of buying a flute I urge you to look at and consider Flutes of the Forest.

Peace and all Good

Hi Phil,

Just to let you know I received my purple heart in the key of F today and I think it sounds beautiful,very mellow,clear,and I found it very easy to play,very forgiving.I have flutes from well known US flute makers and as you will know every flute has its own voice,even flutes of the same key.
I LOVE IT.

Thanks Phil.

Dom.

ive got flutes from other places but this one i got from you is lovely plays nice sounds nice and looks nice im sure your be well known very soon peace to you my friend .

Thank you for the flute I am a happy man! As a beginner its taking some getting used to, but I'm starting to get into the flow of things now and getting a really nice sound out of the instrument. On your site the flute looked very handsome, however I am even more appreciative after recieving it as the mix of oak and hawthorn looks lovely. You've helped initiate a new hobby, I am very grateful and I will be sure to drop your name amongst friends!

My third flute from you arrived safely thanks. Having now purchased three of your flutes has to be a good recommendation of the quality of your workmanship.
The choice of woods blend very well and make a very good overall picture. You have made a wonderful job of her and the voice is marvellous. She has very strong energy and connects with the old British Celts. I look forward to playing her in ceremony.

I took my Maple-Walnut flute to Sacred Circle today and played at the beginning and end of the Prayer circle.

Several people remarked how beautifully made and wonderful the flute looked. I don't think they had heard a low 'E' before and many were taken by the beautiful deep, mellow voice of the flute. - something they had never heard before.

Thank you so much for the beautiful flute!!! I bought it as a gift for a very special person and they were delighted with it...and I am jealous!!! I hope to treat myself to one sometime soon before your prices and the demand for your craft gets beyond me. You have an amazing gift, I'm so glad I found you.
Warmest regards Jennie.

Dennis's flute 2 - Maple and Walnut.

Flute arrived today safely. Beautifully made and has a superb tone - lovely deep and mellow (like Maple syrup?) - responds lovingly to gentle handling.

Anyone who has several Native American style flutes will soon find that one of the joys of them is that every flute has its own characteristics and sound - even two of the same key, similar wood, and same maker.

Listen to a 'F' in Oak and then play a 'F' in another wood - perhaps Cedar and even a tone deaf person would hear the difference.

Take different flutes from different makers - e.g. I have two Oak, same key different makers and there is a great difference reflecting the energy of the person who has made it, the type of wood, the spirit of the wood and the energy of the person playing it.

As with Native American style drums, each instrument is individually made and so has different energy that flows when it is played.

Hi Phil,
Received Flute today excellent service, am really pleased. I'm a complete beginer with this but somehow feel that I'm in safe hands with one of your flutes, the workmanship is top class. Your going to get very busy once the word gets round, these are so difficult to get hold of sourced in the UK.

Hi Phil
Received flute safely today thanks - ordered Fri, received Mon. Beautiful finish and sound - plays as soft as I want and as loud as I want without any faults or overblow - very good for a relatively new flute maker when some more experienced still produce flutes that overblow too easily. I am extremely pleased and will be watching the site for more flutes - I only have about 18 at present! I have a large, wall mounted flute rack - but the supplied stand is so nice that I will be using that for this flute.

Hi Phil I received your flute finally and I must admit it was worth the wait. As a fellow flute maker I must say that you do great quality work. Keep up the great work on your flute journey and many blessings to you always. Aho

hi phil,just wanted to say thanks for the flute i purchased from u yesterday.i was very impressed with the workmanship and value for money,kind regards linda

hi phil read ur web site realy interesting see u on the round regards kev.

Hi Phil
well after buying my first flute from you I thought I would be buying a second and I was not wrong. On you site the flute looked good but when I received it I was really pleased. Like my first flute it plays so well and the tone is sweet. By giving it extra breath the sound gets a richer quality. Thank you for sharing your gift as a flute maker with us lucky enough to buy one of your creations.
play in peace

Hi Phil
the flute I had from you is wonderful. The tone is rich and clear and plays so well. If this flute is typical of your work you truely are a gifted flute maker and anyone who plays native american flutes should have at least one of yours in their collection. I now have one and think that I will be contacting you for more.
Play in Peace
