In this beautifully detailed program you will be shown the step-by-step process of crafting a six hole, Native American style cedar flute and bird. You will feel like you are Don's apprentice each step of the way.

The video is a "see and do" style of teaching. The early Native American's who made flutes discovered the secret of the flute long ago, by trial and error method. Then they were able to pass that knowledge to others. In that spirit, our goal is to pass along what we know.

We have received thank you letters from our "apprentices", some of whom have expressed deep gratitude

for the new skills they have learned, as well as the opportunity for generating a positive cash flow by making and selling flutes to others.

Experimenting is encouraged. In time you will discover what works best for you.

Various steps covered include: rip-cutting, routing, shaping, chiseling, sanding, gluing, staining, and techniques that will guide you toward making a wonderful instrument that you can enjoy for many years."

Beautiful flute music can be heard throughout the video, such as a brief flute rendition, "Zuni Sunrise" by Charles Littleleaf, and other musical background samples performed by David Rivaldo on a Rivaldo flute.

The sound is very uplifting, meditative, and hauntingly beautiful. You do not need to be able to read music if you play from the heart. This is an opportunity to learn a valuable skill at home.
