Order flutes
HOW TO BUY
Whether you want to order a flute from the Gallery page, or are considering ordering a custom-made flute, the best thing to do is to contact us.
The flutes listed as "for sale" on the Gallery page may have been sold within the past few days when Hawk is at an event or appearance. If you’re particularly interested in a flute that’s just been sold, a custom order might be just right for you.
If you’re considering a custom-order flute, having a conversation with Hawk is the best way for you both to decide if this is a good route for you, and how to proceed.
These are a few things you might think about if considering a custom-made flute. You might have given these questions some thought before you talk with Hawk, although you certainly don’t have to be decided just to talk with him. You can also talk with him just to get a sense of what’s involved.
- What size would you like?
- What general pitch are you inspired by? Remember, Hawk creates flutes by ear and inspiration – not by musical key, in the ‘usual’ sense, although he can create a flute in a particular key if you prefer. Here are some general ways to think about the flute’s voice: high and bird-like, medium, medium-low, low/deep.
- What kind of wood?
- What type of saddle? The saddle is the small animal carving tied to the flute with leather.
- General price range?
- Other information or questions?
