Hi Leonard. What types of flutes do you make? I have a couple of the concert flutes, a Jupiter flute, and my main flute, which is an MIO. They neat. I also have an ocarina, but it's a very oddly shaped one. It looks something like a sweet potato, and has a fipple mouthpiece as well. I also play the recorder. I have been playing the flute for 22 years do you still make flutes, or did you have to retire? I also have a set of panpipes. I don't play the ocarina or the panpipes as much as my flutes and my recorders. It's very interesting how many members of the Flute family they're actually are. There are so many members of the Flute family, that I can't even begin to count them all, let alone pronounce them. Some of them are unpronounceable.?

??? Hi Amanda,

??? No, this is just the sheet music.? They are little pieces, but very challenging and very interesting, if I say so myself!? I started having physical problems a few years ago, which forced me to retire from professional playing.? I'm still hoping that I might be able to regain a level of playing ability that would allow me to record these pieces myself, but that has yet to be seen.

??? Of course, I would love to hear other players perform or record these, too.? I've been a flutist and a flute maker for many years, but the composing is quite a new thing in the scheme of things!

??? Best to you,

??? Lenny
