Here at Singing Grove Flutes through extra effort I strive to ensure that my flutes will be ones that you will desire to own and play for a lifetime. These are some of the steps I take to meet that goal:

Whether selecting bamboo from down the road here in NC, or from some that comes from across the world, each piece is chosen for tonal quality, comfort, durability and appeal.


The bamboo is fire cured to vent out excessive moisture. This brings it into balance with the indoor air quality thereby helping to prevent cracks.(picture to right, click to enlarge)

The holes are created in the traditional manner of burning in which also helps to prevent cracks. They are then sanded smooth for comfort.

Each note is electronically tuned for optimal tonal quality.

The exterior is heated to soften the bamboos natural oil and wax. It is then hand rubbed to a satin sheen to reveal the bamboos unique beauty. No modern sealants are used only walnut oil on the ends and inside for protection.

Binding the flute acquires the pleasure of playing this flute for a lifetime. It virtually eliminates the possibility of cracking rendering a flute unplayable.
