I was excited for the flutes to arrive. I got here and yup it's warped. Ever try and glue to pieces of cedar? Wood cracks and it did. I sent a message but got no reply. This broke and since it looks like the seller isn't going to respond, its now trash, unfortunate. So I ordered another from a different seller and it was perfect.

Thought it would be fun to make one, but...not... cant get it to work, instructions made little sense I'll stick with letting professional flute makers make them

I was excited about this item but when I received it it was missing the wooden gasket and the lether stampings. Not sure what happened in packaging but as of right now I am very unimpressed by this sale

The flute kit was ordered on 3/11/20 and arrived on 3/13/20, a very fast delivery. It’s a good cedar flute kit with nice smell. The instruction is clear, informative, and easy to follow. However the way to make a gasket from the provided thin wood to put underneath of Block as air path is not easy for common people and NOT common in most of the type of flute. Most of them make the air path right underneath of the Block. Also it’s very hard to make a sound out of it, if possible. After having tried for three hours, a thin, tiny, and high pitch sound came out from strong blow. The short distance between mouthpiece and sound hole and small hole make the high pitch, I guess. There is NO instruction in how to make its sound hole singing. This is the hardest and most important part of the flute. The maker should test this and make sure it sounds before it leaves factory. Will study on it continuously and NOT to glue them together until it sounds properly.

First time buying and playing a flute. The assembly was fairly easy and straight forward until it came time to install the block. The instructions are not very clear on installing block and it could use pictures from different angles to show the correct orientation. It comes with a small thin piece of wood to make a gasket for the block. The dimensions given for the gasket are not correct and the material is very fragile. The gasket split into two pieces. After gluing the gasket back together I was able to determine the correct dimensions for the gasket and made one of plastic from an old credit card. The flute is assembled and makes sounds but not a rich, quality sound. I plan to make a new block that will not require a gasket and continue to tune the flute for better sound. For the price it really is not a bad deal if you keep in mind it is a kit and will require a little effort to get it right.Edit: sound is horrible. Sounds like a whistle definitely not in key of "c".

I love my flute. It was not that difficult to build. I glued the halves together and wrapped them with electrical tape as per instructions. I added three or four spring loaded clamps to balance out the pressure required to fully engage contact to seal the flute body. After drying overnight , I machine sanded the flute with 220 D A paper. I finished sanding with 600 for a silky finish. I did not apply any finish, since that would mask or cover up the cedar smell. I made my own saddle or bird slightly smaller in height to accommodate a miniature crow that now stands on top of my flute. I have enjoyed playing my flute outside and am certain have attracted a peregrine falcon to the yard . I hope the flute playing will bring the falcon back for many future visits. I play it softly with my own native American style. I love it.....
