I've had the feeling that some people would enjoy a more wood-like appearance from my flutes, so I developed a way to give the pvc the look of wood, yet maintain the same inexpensive price. I've added some wooden beads as decoration, but they are easily removable if they don't fit your taste (I like to add my own embellishments when I buy someone else's flutes, so I understand!). For the longer Anasazi in A, I can make them for 'lefties' (people who place the left hand on the bottom holes), so you can request that at no additional charge. Scroll below for my online Etsy store for more pictures.

Hi Mark-
Played the Anasazi 5 minutes out of the box! Yes, really! The design of your mouthpiece is superb- it makes all the difference. I never was able to get a sound out of a Coyote Oldman Anasazi. I am no one's idea of an expert flute player, so if I can do it, anyone can! Perhaps this should be called "The People's Anasazi" rather than "Anasazi Dream".
The new woodgrain finish is very attractive, and most people do not realize that it is "urban elderberry" (PVC) unless they look closely. It has a wonderful, bell-like tone, and easily jumps to the upper octave with a teeny tilt and slight upper lip adjestment. Thanks again for making it in a "lefty" format for me.
I love it!
I truly believe the secret to playing the Anasazi is to not worry so much- cleanse your mind, take a deep breath, and tune in to the flute, not listening to the gibbering little monkey that runs around in the heads of most of us. When I do that, it plays. When I start to worry about how I sound, or improving my performance, my "lip" goes away. As Carlos Nakai reputedly said, "Just play the damn flute"!!!
