"The Contrabass F# just arrived. I have played it for a very short time, and I am already delighted with it.
It is easy to blow, has a lovely mellow tone, is light weight for its size, half-holes well, gets all of
the cross-fingered and upper-register notes better than any very low flute that I have played, and, best of
all, the reach isn't too long for my little (5'1") self and the holes aren't too big for my itty bitty (ring size 3 3/4) fingers!
It is also great not to have to mess with a bird. I love that I can play for quite a while without watering out!
The wood is as beautiful as the sound. It doesn't need decoration -- it is beautiful the way Nature (and you) made it.
I'm so glad I renewed our INAFA subscription and read the article about you and your flutes. THANK YOU! 
Thank you too for shipping it so promptly. It may literally be a Godsend. I am a Certified Music Practitioner through
the Music for Healing and Transition Program, and am in the process of playing for a hospice patient who is passing.
You have created a blessing." Nancy from Oregon
"I have had three days with the F# Bass Flute and OH MY! The voice is true, and
responsive.
The flute is beautiful, and so easy to play. Not temperamental at
all, as are some flutes."

"The flute arrived today--it is gorgeous! The only thing more smooth than the finish on the wood is the
sound that the flute produces. I've never owned a flute this low, though I've wanted to for some time.
I am so glad that I decided to try your EZ reach F#.
It is so comfortable, and even the higher notes are so clear. I couldn't be happier.
Thank you, Stephen.
I'm sure I'll be ordering from you again.
As soon as I get a little something recorded on the new flute, I'll send you a clip."

"It's HERE! And... my smallish 'girly' hands can play it!!!! I
have other bass flutes, but this contrabass
is as easy, maybe easier to
play! What a lovely instrument, sound *and* looks! It is a visceral
experience to play.
THANK YOU STEPHEN! " Trish in Loveland,
