If you are looking to purchase a Panflute, this is the place you want to buy it. The craftsmanship is outstanding. I ordered late Sunday night, it was shipped immediately on Monday and I received it Wednesday morning. The communication is also exceptional. Brad makes it a point to reach out to all of his customers. Jared
Brad and Melinda, My name is Jared Braud, husband of Megan. I want to let you both know that I have received my Panflute!!!! I am so very excited to begin to learn how to master this amazing instrument! I was able to get a tone from the lower notes, but I think it is safe to say that I have a lot of practicing to do, especially with my lips and getting the right flow of air. Needless to say, my wife, who used to play the clarinet, hit more of the notes lol.
I am so very appreciative for your gifts of music, especially the Panflute, and for being so willing to pass on that knowledge. It is my hope that I honor you with my perseverance and dedication to becoming the best Panflute player that I can be. I am sure to be keeping in contact with you quite often.
Again, I am so very excited to be finally beginning a journey that I have felt called to for a while. Aloha, Jared

It's beautiful! Thank you so much. I can't wait to get started. I had to open the box right at the post office (a very teeny tiny post office) and the staff immediately called for a concert. Ha!! I may be calling for a lesson after a few weeks. Meanwhile, I'll just soak up what I can and enjoy the process. It's a pleasure knowing you. Roxie

Hi Brad,
I received my Grand Tenor yesterday and am loving it. I have played silver flutes most of my life so the panflute is a challenging, but awesome, new experience!! Thank you for doing what you do! Marianne Decher Portland, OR

Hello Brad and Melinda.... I just received your pan flutes from Bella's and they are exquisite. I listened to your excellent cd sampler with much pleasure. Also, I viewed the instructional dvd that was included in the package. In addition, I have read through the brochures that came with each flute. With regard to the care of these beautiful instruments, and before beginning anything, I am wondering if the use of oil is necessary to keep them in peak condition. I did not see it mentioned in the care instructions. I am aware that oil treatment is used as part of a maintenence regimen for many types of similar instruments such as the wooden celtic flute and those of the north and south american indians. I am also going to order some hard shell cases to keep them well protected. Warmest Regards, Gene Catudal -
Hi Gene, no further oiling needed..... brad

Dear Melinda Thank you. Believe me I have loved all of the albums you and Brad have sent to me. My 93 and a half year old Mom loves them too. I have recommended the Pan flute shop website to several friends. I told them I met Brad in 1986-87. Actually Brad & Lee were playing in Hawaii near or at the hotel where I was staying. They let me try the instrument that made such beautiful music. At that time I bought all their cassette tapes. For years I kept trying to find out if they had made them into CDs but Brad said they did not. I am so happy to receive their CD of We Wish You a Merry Christmas. If one would ask me how satisfied I am with your (Brad & Melindas) service say on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the best, I would have to honestly say: 10+. May God continue to bless you & Brad (and Lee too) and your Pan Flute business. Aloha Judith -

Hi Brad,

I was following the Postal Service tracking system which initially stated that I would receive my pan-flute on Saturday; however, that changed later in the day and it said it would arrive on Friday. Last night (Thursday) I found out it was already in the major hub about five miles from me and early this morning when I checked, it was a few miles from where I live having arrived shortly before 5 AM. Well, I must be the last one on the route as the mail arrived around 9:30 PM Friday. I did call the post office around noon today and said I could come over to pick it up, but the clerk said the package was one of over two thousand and probably already out for delivery...and in fact when I checked, it said out for delivery. And so, I made sure I was home and told my son to be on the lookout.

You play beautifully, and I appreciate the extras that you've packaged with the instrument.

Good MORNING EVERYONE, BRAD, NO NEED TO ANSWER THIS, I CAME ACROSS THIS FUNNY SITUATION YESTERDAY.

Brad, Just a short note to let you know my new flute arrived yesterday in perfect condition! Your "mailing packaging" is superb :) I gave it a quick try and realize how much I must practice, but that begins today and I expect great things. I love the flute - it is beautiful, and I'm certain I will send dulcet tones over the air waves as we RV around. Will be in touch again in awhile. Cheers to you and Melinda, Erna Colloton, Claresholm, Alberta, Canada

Thanks again Terrence.

Came home after being "out" all day and found the package, It looks fantastic. I watched the instructional video and tried it for about a half hour. I then started to listen to the CD, and must admit I fell asleep in it. I just love the music and integration with the flute and it's sound. I especially like Hawaii Aloha, and a couple other ones, the titles excape me right now. I've been shuffling music for a book signing this coming sunday, I'll be with one of e groups playing for as many Hula Halau, one of them from Paris, we get to accompany them as they sing "La Vie En Rose" should be fun. OK Mahalo Nui once again, I'll let you know how I progress.
3-16-2016 Corpus Christi Texas
Just wanted to let you know that I have received the pan flute. Very nice for sure. I actually got sound out of it first try. Started on the lowest note. Not so easy on the higher notes as you describe on the video. Years ago as a hobby I played the harmonica. Haven't played one in many years. The reason I mention this because I find myself wanting to go to the left for the low notes to the right for higher notes. Will be a habit I have to break. Also you mentioned getting dizzy. Well I'm no exception to that. I'll be practicing and may let you know how it's going in a couple of weeks. Now to find a nice, and easy tune to start with. Flight of the bumblebee should do it.

I am excited to start learning to play, I tried a few times to get something out of it , and now I wish I had ordered a new pair of lungs also. But I am sure it will be come easier when I study your lessons. Again thank you so much. Maxine

Well Brad my 15 pipe pan flute arrived this morning. All good! I had to tune it to G and some of the high notes too. It is just what I wanted as I play C and G chromatic harmonica's and I have lots of backing tracks for those. Concert tomorrow featuring the pan flute. The oldie's have been waiting for it. The echo battery is charged and the songs are ready. Thanks for the instruction I would be still blowing air without it and bending the notes down is special too. At first I didn't think I would get it but now its easy. I write the notes using flats instead of sharps and that works for me. Thanks for everything. - John

Thank you for the prompt email. The address is correct as it will be shipped to Hazel C… in Harrington, Maine. She called me all upset because she HAD ordered one from Peru, and the shipment never materialized. I quickly went on your site and ordered one for her. I figured that I should tell her, so I called her and told her that I had ordered a pan flute. She said "Well, I have been looking at one online and was going to order it-but I will wait for the one you ordered to arrive. Tell, me, what did you order?"

HI: My name is Uretta Noyes. I received my pan flute today (wow how quick). I put the DVD in to watch, I looked at the book and played The First Noel. I played the flute in school 5-12 grades, then went on to play in the Seattle youth Symphony for the summer. I was picked to go on with the Symphony, I had my drivers license, but I did not have a car. That was 50 years ago. I continued with my flute for another 15 years. then life happened.

Oh wow Melinda! You two are really on top of it!! :) Thank you so much!! I was telling Brad yesterday that I came across your sight about 3 years ago and wanted one right from the get-go but that I had been care-taking my dad and just wasn't able to. Over the years I'd check back on your sight from time to time and listen to Brad's beautiful song clips and dream, knowing that one day.....one day I'd be able to order one..... and Wooo-hooo! : ) that "one day" has finally come and I can hardly believe it!!! You guys have made this such a pleasant experience....I was so surprised yesterday when Brad personally answered the phone. How often do you see that in this day and age! It was quite refreshing....you've got yourself a beautiful gem there in your husband! I thank you also Melinda for your quick response and detailed info in your email. It's all been so helpful...you sure do take care of us.

Thanks for the info Brad. I received the 15 pipe yesterday and haven't had much time to play with it,. Anyway, I am so impressed with the instrument, I just ordered the pentatonic. I have a soft spot for the blues. One thing I did discover is that the half smile in forming the embouchure actually stretches the lips thus removing the natural creases which seem to interrupt smooth air flow.

Hi Brad 10 years ago I Started messing around on some Mayan pan flutes. I slowly started learning over 7 years. But since I bought your grand tenor 3 years ago I've spent 100's of hours playing them. I play a lot of modern music in every genre. Your Celtic stuff is amazing. I was wondering if you had any advice on getting those haunting mellow tones. You should check out my facebook page if you have time( just search Raphael Pihan). I'm still fairly amateur but I play everything from pop to heavy metal, techno, rock ballads. I'd love some feed back and maybe some tips on advanced techniques.

"I looked down and there was a trip wire, about three feet off the ground, right near my boot. If I would've touched that trip wire, I would have been vaporized."
In his post-war years, after returning to Florida, he went through dark times involving alcoholism, and turned to God to get out of his downward spiral.
"I realized if I turned it over to God and meant it, he would take (the alcoholism) from me," he said. "I remember the meeting...I walked out of the meeting and I said here you go, God, and he pulled it right on out of me."
Now, he sees a psychiatrist in Sebring. His pan flute playing days began nearly three years ago, around Christmas in 2011. His psychiatrist asked him what he enjoyed doing, and he said he liked playing the pan flute. This prompted her to give him a challenge: get good at playing the pan flute, record an album and show it to her.
Since then, Livingston has been practicing at any opportunity. He plays at Sunny Homes Retirement Home sometimes and is slated to play at his niece's wedding in November, where he'll do a 10-song concert.
Livingston says playing the pan flute helps him deal with his post-traumatic stress disorder and Gulf War syndrome, fighting the personal demons that ail him even now.

Thank you for the beautiful pan flute .I like it probably soon I will buy another one.

Thanks Brad. By the way, my friend and I watched your video last night. My technique has improved greatly since then. This morning, I played the same piece at church for a special. I am not as easily winded as I used to be. The pan flute sounds beautiful, and I was able to get some of the high notes out easily sometimes. Also, you can post my progress to the testimonials page as well if you'd like. I'd like people to know that it can be done, even with sight impairment. Thank you much, and once I get the church performance edited, I'll send you that one, because I think I did better today than I did on the recording I sent you.

Hi, my name is JJ and I felt that I should have thanked you a while ago. Thank you for the customer care that I could feel from all of your communication with me and within the package. I really haven't got to try it until the past couple of days and I love it. I've been wanting to find an instrument that I think fits me. My sisters play the guitar and piano, and are very gifted musicians, but I haven't been able to join in that area of our family much. Now I feel that I've found an instrument I can connect with, and I look forward to getting better at it. I really liked that one piece in your intro video with the very first example of a song on it. It was fast, and reminded me of peter pan or something Irish. I really want to learn how to do that:

My sister Lisa will be in contact with you. She has health issues. I have spoke with her (with several years of flute experience) I suggested she purchase a pan from you too give her release from her pain. my other sister sharyn will be purchasing this wonderful pan CD. We all live in different states. You music was listened through a cell phone from Indiana to Texas and New Mexico. God bless you both.
Thank you ever so much-Marc

01-20-2014 Sun City Center Florida
I have had my 15 pipe pan flute for about three days and I am playing anything I want to play! I originally purchased the Grand Tenor and I was overwhelmed in trying to play it. I decided to try a simpler flute and it worked. I am sure if I went back to the Grand Tenor right now I could play it and I am really looking forward to that. I haven't gone through the book and DVD you sent but will very shortly. I am so proud of both of my instruments, the quality of workmanship and the tone they have when I play them. I was really surprised at how easy it is to sense just how far to move up or down the flute to get the notes of a song, I thought that would take a lot of time. And yes, Brad, I am enjoying playing panflute as much as you do. I have watched all of the videos on your site and now I will be able to play with you the next time I go to your site. Thank you for making such beautiful instruments, I am so enjoying playing. Right now I am playing piccolo and flute for the concert band in our area, the bass flute and concert flute in our new flute choir, taking lessons once a week on flute and bass flute, learning ukulele, playing in a ukulele group and now I am learning the panflute. I sometimes get a little tired out but I never get tired of playing! Aloha and Mahalo, Brad.

The flute arrived yesterday. It is beautiful. And sounds wonderful. It will take some getting use to, but since I use to play flute and oboe (years and years and even more years ago) I will probably get the lip shape fairly easily. My only question at this time is what type of sheet music can I use. I have piano music and harp music. I use the piano music for the harp, but can I use it on the 18 pipe flute? Are they interchangeable? - Candy

Hi Brad.......I just want to share my excitement with you, as I learn to play my panflute. I'm coming along slowly, but surely with "Amazing Grace", and I'm playing "Precious Memories" even better.
At the age of 89 in a few weeks, it feels good to accomplish another instrument. It takes a LOT of practice, but I enjoy it very much! My violin is not getting much attention right now - ha!

FYI, in receipt of my panflute minutes ago. Of course like a typical guy broke open the box and went right to it without reading any directions (ya know, like with toys, or whatever, nah, don't need the instructions, I can do it). Well, rude awakening...... but there is hope just minutes after giving in to Brad's written instructions I was on my way : ).. So, now I begin my journey and hopefully, in time, I will entertain family and friends.

I will be in touch...

She's already playing a few tunes on it (needs to work more on her breathing for sure!) and playing a few hymns from the hymn book. Her flute-playing sister is quite envious, so we may be purchasing another one in the near future. We love the CD of your music as well. Thanks so much for the gift wrapping and everything you included. She has wanted a horse for several years and even said this morning that this is better than a horse!

Brad, I wanted to thank you for the excellent service and the excellent panflute. I have been practicing and can now sustain a long, clear tone on all the notes except the high G, A, B, and C of the highest octave. Those will still require some strengthening of the embouchure to get a consistent small stream of air. I absolutely love the panflute, and hope to play solos sometime in the future. I also play chromatic harmonica and tuba.

It was such a major blessing. I played the CD right away and had some friends over at the time and they greatly enjoyed it. The music is so beautiful and peaceful, it puts anyone in a restful state. I just want you to know I realize that you did not have to send me CD but you did that out of the kindness of your heart, and I really appreciate that act of kindness and thoughtfulness. I have recently graduated from Nursing School and will be hopefully getting a job in the next couple months so I plan on purchasing more of your music and instruments in the future. Blessings and thank you again!

Words alone cannot begin to thank you enough for your great web site and the high quality pan flutes you offer on it. My fiance (Lou) ordered a Grand Tenor and gave it to me as a Christmas gift and there couldn't have been a bigger smile on my face if I tried. Though visiting your site several times, making beautiful music with a pan flute was only a dream until yesterday. I was first drawn to the beauty of the pan flute after listening to a band called "Andean Fusion" in San Antonio a few years back which led me to your web site. Now, thanks to your web site (not to mention a great Sweetheart) I have it within my reach to enjoy the enchanting sounds that I've fallen in love with. Thank you, Brad!

Thanks for doing business as you do---it almost feels like I "know" you. You probably get that a lot---well keep it up! It is a good thing! - Jacki

From first contact through to this point of receipt, Pan flute was well packaged and I thank brad for CD it is a personal touch not seen very often. Was able to play notes from lower register from out of box but will follow your excellent instructions to follow the correct leaning curve. Thank you both for making my first steps with the pan flute an easy one, there is no doubt that i will get many hours of pleasure from this new venture.
I will have no hesitation in recommending your services to all my friends and colleages

Just wanted to let you know that the pan flute arrived two days before I expected it (way to go), and I LOVE it!!! It sounds so good, especially at the beginning of "My Heart Will Go On" (Theme from Titanic). I am going to be playing it on a number of songs that we do, and I think the audience will love it. We'll send some videos when we get them made. Again, thank you so much for this beautifully crafted instrument!!! I will be telling everyone where I got it!
You guys ROCK!!!!
We've tried playing an amateur panflute, the sound isn't the same. You can view some of our music online at www.thebeachblondes.com-- Thanks again for all your help, and thanks for the beautiful music!!!

Hello! I am just messaging to say thank you so much for the magic you have brought to my life. I have recently received the Fun Pipes from you and words cant say how much joy it brings into my life. I have never even touched a panflute before now, and became so captivated by the emotion in its sound, that i haven't been able to set it down since. The instrument is so easy to feel and understand, it's only been a couple weeks or so and i can already play, (though still a little rough) most of the songs i hear on the radio. But more beautiful to me is that i can pick it up and create full songs without any kind lessons or songs to listen to. You can connect so closely to this instrument, that if you can imagine something beautiful, it wont be long before you change your thoughts into song. Its adaptable, and can flow beautifully with any other instrument i partner it with.

Melinda, I just received my pan flute and all the wonderful DVD's, CD's and book The pan flute is absolutely beautiful. It is a work of art. I can't tell you how happy I am with it. Oh and thank you for making it left handed for me. I am not ambidextrous. It is going to be so much easier for me to learn. Oh did I mention the beautiful sound that comes out. Even I sound good without ANY lessons yet. When I master this I will be ready for the Tenor. Thanks you once again for everything. It came so quickly and you have made my day. Janet

The panflute has arrived! Faster than we anticipated.

From being only able to blow a few hoarse tones to now master the full range of the flute is a very nice feeling. I think it sounds very beautiful with both flute and harmonica in the same song!
I am setting up a new studio (6 Cubase and HALion 4) and a new sound card with the new pickups. I will also create a website in Swedish where I want to highlight your instruments and your website.

Hello Brad,
I actually bought this for my fiance who stumbled upon your youtube video and instantly fell in love with this instrument. He began searching online to find a well made pan flute that he could afford and found your website. I saw the page bookmarked on my computer and decided to order it as a late xmas present and surprise him.
I just wanted to thank you for making our xmas a great one and also including the DVD (which he is glued to at the moment). We definitely appreciate the time you put in crafting and sending it to us!

After 2 evenings with it i can hit them all! (rather roughly) Clearly i need to work on my breathing out-put. You are a wonderful teacher, the dvd was so helpful.

Hi, I returned home from France to my BEAUTIFUL panflute. I can hardly believe how much I love it already. I wish I could do it justice, but I hope to soon! I have only had it 2 days but am starting to be able to play F sharp & B flat! The temptation is to play as many tunes as I can but then the technique goes out of the window! I really struggle when reading the music, after playing the piano everything tells me I should be playing to the right of the instrument for the higher notes, it feels like I am playing in a mirror! In October we are going to travel to Africa for a few weeks to visit our sponsored children and help at some orphanages. I do not want to be parted with my panflute! SO thought I may buy your 10 note pentatonic to practise on. Very many thanks for my beautiful panflute,

We got the panflute so quickly-it was actually on time for my daughter's birthday. She just turned 15 and has been asking for one for about 2 years now. I had my reservations, but as she was so consistent in her request and it was the only thing she wanted, we decided to go for it. She had been searching the web for some time and hand-picked your company/panflute. Just wanted to let you know how thrilled she is with it and your personal service has made the experience even more delightful. I believe we made the right choice!

Brad, I purchased your beautifully crafted 18 pipe tenor last year in October, and it was the best $140 I spent in my life :). I have never heard such wonderous music in my life either, until I heard your recordings. Celtic Pan-flute is my favorite :). You have changed my life entierely, and I can never be more thankful to you. I felt just like Pan when my girfriend moved, and we've been in a relationship (unbroken) for 8 and a half years now. Your music and Pan-flute which I bought brought me back on my feet, and now, I play at the tip of a lake just like Pan did when syrinx left him. Anyone looking for a quality instrument should purchase one of yours, and I gaurantee that they will be forever changed - thankyou!!!! :)

[1st letter: Hi Brad. I play in an early music group, playing music anywhere from 11th to 17th century. I lost my sight about two years ago and this small group of four asked me to play percussion for them. I wondered if the pan fluttes would make a acceptable addition.]
----------- Flute arrival...
Haloa Brad or in the jargon of the Royal Forest of Dean where we chose to live, 'Ow bist ol' butt!
I have had two surprises. First, I didn't realise How they were played, I thought you blew into a mouthpiece like a whistle, but as they say 'no problemo'. At the age of around eleven I learnt to play a fife in a drum and fife band, so had an idea of the technique. The second surprise was the breathing. As a brass player for so many years, breathing via the diaphragm and controlling the exhilation and using that method of vibrato are/were second nature, BUT, not having played for getting on for three years has revealed a lack of expertise so it looks as if I shall be going through the dizzy bit. By the way,, My wife Pam sends her thanks to you. Among the packaging was a crossword in the Los Angelis Times. She is always doing crosswords and loves them, but beware, she might be asking for some answer to the 'American' quesstions!
Please thank Melinda for her little personal encouragement when advising me of the despatch date.
I'm not sure if I told you that for all the years I have played in brass bands, I have never bbeen able to play without the music, but like the fledgelette, for some reason, it and the pan flutes I can mostly get the right note instinctively. There will be no problem practising, in DOUBLE measure. Learning the pan flutes is going to be so much easier than learning to read braille! but don't worry ,
I wont give my braille tutoe your details.
Thank you once again for everything.

Very thankful for the quality of the instrument and of the service. I will more than likely be purchasing more from your store in the future.

Hi Brad, Just a little note to tell you my Grand Tenor arrived this morning. What a beautiful instrument. I can already play a two octave scale up and down but I am having a little problem with the third octave. As you stated, it will take a little time and practice with the high register. I am not use to making my mouth, lips and diaphragm work in concert so it will take some effort and a lot of practice. I will contact you from time to time with questions. Thank you for your time and help.

The Panflute you sent got here yesterday. It appears to have a defect .... it's just too fun to play!!! I am going to loose a lot of time to this Panflute and probably not even know it. Everything you said on your website about its quality was absolutely correct. Thank you for making such a great looking and great sounding instrument. I also wanted to thank you for your video.

Today I get the pan flute, is in perfect condition, I'm happy. I have a question, pan flutes and pipes of 15 to 18 tubes are different from the great tener I have, are in a different key, because if so I plan to buy the 15 and 18 but would be in the month of May.

Dear Mr. White,
I want to thank you for the beautiful Grand Tenor with the shoe. I was hesitant to buy from a website but after seeing your videos and talking to you on the phone, you made me feel much more comfortable. Thank you for the wonderful personal service.
I have been playing the flute every day since it came. I am practicing mostly standards right now like Memories and Time to Say Good Bye, also The Lonely Shepherd. Over-blowing is a little more difficult than I expected but I am sure it is my technique more than anything else.
I will be ordering more in the future because my wife wants her own on her birthday, not to mention Christmass for the grand kids.
Thank you again.I will be in touch.

It goes pretty good. It´s only the highest tones that are a little difficult to play, but it´s going better and better. I guess it just takes a lot of practice.

Anyways, I am learning new songs now and one of them is on the video you sent out with the pan flute. Now to my question... what is the name of the song playing on the "history" portion of the video? I learned it today from watching it and would like to know the name when people ask.

First of all, I just love the packaging! great design, box shaped especially for it, and I just adored the little personal message on the box! Very touchy, I enjoyed that so much! Also it was great for me to hold U.S. newspapers in my hands for the first time :P (I refer to the wrap inside), it was nice to read some articles :) Oh and BTW: it arrived on the 17th of jan 2011 but apparently they've lost the first notification ticket and I only got to know it's here on the second which was today, the 1st of Feb 2011.

Hi, Brad.
Not long ago my husband bought from you Great Tenor Pan-Flute. We both just love it - it sounds great.
At last, I got my own 18-pipe Tenor. To our post-office it came on the 6th Junuary. It seems, that holidays are the hardest times for customs officers so it's not a wonder. The tracking number was usefull - we could check how the progress was going.
But back to the core. I'm so glad to receive it! The flute is great. In compare with our Grand Tenor it looks (and feels) so small and light! And for me it was like a real revelation to find out the difference in sound between them:) All those talks about keys for me were like something abstract. Now I myself found that on 18-pipe Tenor instead of pure Fa is Fa sharp. I know, that you wrote it for me, but now I finally understand what it means)) I'm really excited. I've already tried to play different tunes on both flutes and I'm very content of myself.

I have always been interested in music as well as different types of instruments. This pan flute is so beautiful and has such a great sound..I can't wait to learn how to play it. My parents couldn't say enough about how nice it was to talk with you. I really appreciate that. I have taken time to watch all of your videos and they have really got me excited about the pan flute. (I majored in music in Cincinnati Ohio - Saxophone, flute and piano.) I hope that my previous background will help me to be a quick study.

Dear Brad,
Oh, what a surprise! I got my pan flute!
When I got home from work Thursday evening a package was sitting on the front porch, and I thought it was more guitar stuff my husband Garry had ordered. Then I saw your name on the box and almost fell over! Garry knew I wanted one of your pan flutes but I figured he was going to wait until Christmas. I'm really glad he didn't wait! I am so happy to have it and the DVD and book - I can't put it down! I have been practicing the blowing technique for starters, and Garry has been helping me read the notes and scale. Thank you so much for putting together such a nice beginner's pan flute package. The instructions and the DVD (and your You Tubes) are going to help me greatly.

hi melinda,
10-28-10 Salt Lake City, Utah
I received the pan flute a couple of weeks ago. What a wonderful instrument! I watched the DVD and have practiced every day. At first I could not get the half notes but over time they are becoming more pronounced. I still cannot reach all of the upper notes but slowly I find that I can go higher. I make and play my own American Indian flutes and remember how it was difficult to do some of the notes at first. making the vibrato sound on your flute has dramatically improved my own flute playing. Your flute is a quality instrument. I thank you for producing it and selling it. It is my pleasure to own one. Perhaps in a while when I get good I will send a sound bite.

I just wanted to thank you for the pan flute, its very well made and a lot of fun already. I am flirting around with playing the lonely shepard from the kill bill soundtrack already and it even sounds decent enough to enjoy as a bystander to my practice (or so I am told). I can see myself getting the hang of it and learning for years. Thanks again for the flute and the dvd that you sent with it, I will definately recommend your work to others who may be interested in one.

I just wrote to tell both of you, how much I appreciate your attention to me, as a small customer. No other vendor has ever given the same before-AND-after-sales service like you did. You called me, and sent email when a great earthquake hit Indonesia. You let you customers keep in touch, ask you tips and tricks, share the joy of discovering the beauty of that small instrument, give them feedback (if they ever send you their recording, of course).

Thank you ever so much Melinda & Brad, the panflute arrived today 06/28/10! It is beautiful and I'm already able to play "May it be" on it, not so well yet of course, but I'm amazed at how easy (and very much fun) it is to play what will eventually be beautiful music on this simply lovely instrument. I know that I will eventually want to order the larger flute but I'm going to take some time first to learn the basics. Thank you so very much again, this is such a delight, I am pleased beyond expectations. Thank you again ever so much!

Hi Brad. This flute is going to an orphan in Ecuador. He just turned 20 on May 30. He is a twin and he and his brother can play anything they pick up. They are Shuar from the Arajuno jungle in Ecuador. I just returned from a visit with them. My mother and her husband have the foster home where these boys have lived since they were about 12 years old. Andres is so excited to know I have ordered this for him. I just wanted to let you know your impact....thanks. If the other twin likes it, I may order another one later in the fall. Have a great day and God Bless...

I never thought of beveling the fore and aft of each pipe but it certainly makes a difference. Thanks and kudos for an outstanding job.

Brad, Got the new pentatonic (FunPipes) pan flute today and have not put it down. I am having fun just making up little tunes that sound good. I do much the same with my Strum Sticks because you can't really make up little songs that don't sound pretty darn good. I will probably play this new flute a lot because it is so simple to have it right by your side and just pick it up and enjoy. Thanks for making a really fun little musical instrument that you can't go wrong with.

Today is 13/04/10 in England and a beautiful set of pipes has landed at my door. Thankyou very much. As i have absolutely no musical abilities so this could be an interesting journey but a fun one.I hope to do a sort of video diary of my progress or my frustration whichever is the most prevalent. Everything was packed well and the box contained everything you said it would so youve done your bit now its down to me.If you spot a crazy yorkshire man coming down Ena Road using a pan flute as a weapon things aint going well but i think they will.
4-11-101 Stockholm, Sweden
Hi Brad and Melinda! Today i´m 13 for the first time in my life. This morning i got a panflute for birthday present! It wasn´t really a surprise because they nedded to ask me about your webpage when they ordered it, but i still couldn´t believe it when i got it. It´s such a beatutiful instrument and it sounds just as good as i ever hoped. I´m very happy that i got it and that you and i can´t wait untill i can play it REALLY good. I´ve been playing the piano for a couple of years now and the tunes are just the same but turned around (instead of left=low and right=high notes it´s the opposite on the panflute). I wonder if you got any tip how to play the highest notes. The pipes are so small so that when i play, i get false tunes because my lips doesent fit right. I hope you can give me a little hont about that.

Hello folks, and Hafa Adai (greetings from Guam);
Thanks so much for such a fast response and also the attention you guys give to EACH AND EVERYONE even if its just an interest. I was really happy when Brad personally called, and spent time consulting with me in deciding what to do, for I was very undecided whether to proceed with this desire to learn to play (a desire I carried for some years). I'm definitely looking forward to getting started. Again, thanks and may God Bless You both.
By the way, the Celtic panflute piece is great for indeed, meditating. Later, Henry.

Thank you very much. I wish all business worked as you folks do. Wonderful
Brad.. Well today started off bad. The weather was bad. I went and had a root canal done at the dentist office. But....when I got home, USPS had been here and my flute arrived. Boy am I impressed with the way you do business. I only had a short time to look it over and blow through it. The workmanship is great and I even got sound out of it. And I thought that only a big engine or my model A cars could get me excited. I will get after it later.

I have always loved old woodwinds, and the pan pipe, I think, is one of the oldest and the most hauntingly beautiful. I am currently playing other woodwind instruments as well, but none of them have been able to compare. Now I have been writing my own songs and have been recording them with much pleasure. I just wanted to say thank you and that your panpipes are of the greatest quality I have ever known. In a way, you've helped me find a gift I didn't know I had.
Thank you from Minnesota.

I love to sing but have now lost close control over my vocal chords and can no longer do that even though I still have pretty fair breath control.

Thank you very much. I received my Panflute. I'm very excited and can't wait to learn how to play it. I'm amazed at the quality of the Panflute and the personalization that you go through with your Panflutes. Thanks again and I'll be sure to send my friends to your site.

Mr. & Mrs. White,
Regardless, I want to thank you guys for the outstanding quality of service you provide. Never in my life have I had such confidence while purchasing an instrument, and I've bought quite a few from different manufacturers.
Your website has much useful information and cool perks, such as the sheet music and the audio/video samples of each flute being played, that it's obvious you know what you're talking about. That type of thing really makes a person comfortable with making the investment. The constant updates on the shipping of the flute was awesome as well. I feel like I've gotten my moneys worth already, just from the service.
You guys are wicked, and I will be sure to promote your business as much as I possibly can!

Aloha to you, Melinda and Brad!
I have played the concert flute for 26 years ( I am 35) and have often wanted to try a pan flute. I enjoy learning and getting others excited about learning new instruments. I have played the piccolo since junior high and high school, as well as, the tenor saxophone and a year of clarinet (which I did not care for). I am a flute, piano, and vocal private teacher here in Galt. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MUSIC AND CHILDREN!
My husband, Derek, and I have five beautiful girls ranging in age from 16 to 4 years. We are a home school family and because of this are able to really focus on teaching our children according to their passions and abilities. Drama and music are a big part of our daily routine…with girls, drama is often a natural phenomenon!
I will most definitely be introducing the pan flute at my next recital this coming Saturday and will look forward to the enjoyment it will bring, not only to me, but to those who desire to learn with me. I will ALWAYS recommend your site for the purchase of a pan flute for anyone interested in pursuing it!

Aloha, hi, the beautiful flute [15-pipe] arrived today, Friday 17th . what a supremely lovely instrument. My 16 year old daughter picked it up and started playing straight away. I might take a little longer, but I will have fun learning.

Hi Brad,
I wanted to let you know that I received my Pentatonic Pan flute. It has a great sound.
I am going to have to practice at it though!!!
Once I get good at this one I may order one of your other flutes.
I play in a group of dulcimer/autoharp/guitar players. Was looking for something different to add to the group.
Thanks, - Chris

I received the 15-pipe flute. It is great. Fine work on this flute.
I had looked around for a pan flute but found either the cost was a lot for a good one or the lower priced ones were not worth buying. This is a fine made flute at a good price and easy to play. If anyone is looking to buy a flute to start off with, or if you already play, buy this one. You will be happy with it.
I also plan to buy the pocket flute so I can always have one with me. Fast shipping, good packing.
Thank You Brad

Ciao Brad & Melinda,
You must have received an email from my son Gabriele saying the panflute arrived safe and sound in record time (Thursday 2nd). We were thrilled and amazed because the instrument is really beautiful and also because the parcel magically found its way from exotic Honolulu to our house amid the woods, where even locals get easily lost.....

Good day,
Maybe you remember me - I ordered all of your CDs from you about 5 years ago. I love your CDs. It is beautiful relaxing music.
I have played the Pan flute now for about 7 years, so I think I am not a beginner, but I am also not a professional player. I will never play so beautiful like you.
Thanks to you - I discovered irish whistles on your web page. Thank you very much.
Now I have beautiful a 22-pipe Grand Tenor Pan flute from you and I can say
Thanks for all.
6-23-09 Pennsylvania USA
Aloha Brad, Aloha Melinda,
I think, I have found finally the instrument that I should have played my whole live. I will have lots of work ahead of me and I am looking forward to it. Do you have any good breathing exercise that you recommend?
The flute sounds beautiful and I love the clean look of it. Now I am just praying that I will make music that will be a sweet fragrance to God.
Blessings to you and your business,
Hi Birgit, In my DVD video (included) I demonstrate how to breath properly and some excercises to help with your playing, happy fluting :) ... brad

Hello !
I do have some posted on you tube, if you get a chance to check them out, I'm always open for any sugestions you may have, as a professional panflutist. It's really hard, the band I've been with, we all had fallen out about 1 year ago, and 6 months ago I decided to just perform by myself, it's really hard to do but with GOD's help I do what I can.
All my videos, are recorded live. Keep in mind I am not a professional panflutist.

Hello Melinda & Brad: It was great excitement in our home today - the Pan-flutes arrived! Sharon collected them from the post office and some rather unusual notes have been floating around throughout the day! The Pan-flutes are beautiful, but will take time for the younger boys (and me!) to get the musical sounds going!. Joseph, the 9 year old , seems to be making the most pleasant noises so far and is making some progress! Thanks for the great service. We will be in touch with questions I am sure. Jill

A while ago I ordered your Grand Tenor panflute. I have been so very happy with it, and I am finally starting to get good enough to play in front of others. I am so tempted always to take it outside hiking and such...which I really am hesitant to do with the grand tenor because of its size. So I'd like to order one of your pocket panpipes to take with me outside.

Hello to all. My name is Daniel. I recently [March 6,] got a tenor pan flute from Brad and have been practicing and enjoying this wonderful instrument. At first I was getting dizzy and hyperventilating traying to play it. Then things got better but still felt that it took so much air. At one point I got a bit discouraged but kept trying. You pros make it look soo very easy and effortless, lol. Then one day I kind of had an eureka moment. Something fell into place. I realized it was finesse and my lips, embouchure seemed also to be getting stronger. "Oh happy day" Lol.
Aloha to you Daniel! You are doing so well, congratulations! You

i love my pan flute and practice every day. i have only had it for a few months but after a stress full day at work it helps me lose myself in a world outside of reality so to speak. even tho i can't play that well i try to put alot of passion into every note.i wish there was a teacher here in los angeles to help me but i cant find one who plays the pan flute. so i use books and cd's and watch yours over and over again to try and get better. reguardless i am loving it. thanks brad

Oh Brad and Melinda! I'm so thrilled to FINALLY have a pan flute!! It's beautiful!! Can hardly wait to watch your lessons on the DVD. I did watch two on YouTube, but not having the instrument in my hands made it less understandable! I will keep you posted re: progress made…I was quite excited when I first put it to my lips, but then, I was finally able to get air moving smoothly across all ten pipes to hear their sound.
You certainly want your customers to lack for nothing, especially by making yourself so readily available! If I have friends interested in pursuing playing a pan flute, I will certainly be telling of my own experience with you and your wife...and your company.

Hi Brad and Melinda,
Must thank you Brad for your DVD. First I thought there was something wrong with the panflute's high notes. Then later in the afternoon I got very dizzy (and worried).
Like I said I think this is going to be much harder than anticipated but once I hit a good note it sounds great! It looks like fun and I will give myself some time. You make it look so easy.

Hi Melinda,
I have been browsing your website for a few weeks after stumbling across one of your You Tube videos. While I have long admired the beautiful sound of the pan pipes, you've really caught my interest and imagination to try playing myself. This past year I took up a different "dream" instrument- the Celtic harp- through a local folk/ roots music school, and encouraged by some success there, am eager to try another. I have some musical background: I am a lifelong classical music chorister currently singing with a symphony chorus and play piano OK (I'm no virtuoso), so I can read music as well as play by ear, and love creating music as much as I love listening to it. I also love the idea of giving my children (ages 3 and 6) an appreciation of hands-on, live, acoustic music, especially at home.
Thank you and Aloha,

Hello, my name is Marc, Amelle's dad for who you mailed the $100 pan-flute student package. Thank you for the two e-mails; yes the address is correct. Amelle is 4 and half months old, and recently I became, to my great joy, a stay at home father while my wife went back to work after her maternity leave. Amelle is our first child, and since she was born (even before!) we have been singing to her which she responds to enthusiastically. I soon discovered she enjoyed all sorts of sounds, so this Christmas I purchased a small collection of instruments, mostly inexpensive, like a recorder, kazoo, slide whistle, a melodihorn, some bird calls and a jaw harp-the jaw harp took me quite awhile to catch on to,and she loves it!-some of these I've been practicing already and all of which I am committed to learning for my own self-improvement and for her learning skills and entertainment! It is a lot of fun! Last week I was looking at your pan-flute web-site and one of Brads musical selections was playing as I was walking through the room with her, she began craning and bobbing her head as if to see where the sounds were coming from, then awhile later she was in her chair as the music continued playing and she was smiling and laughing, I knew this was an instrument I should learn as well.

Hi Brad,
10-24-08 Spain
I have just received the pan flute [Grand Tenor] that I bought from you and I am really amazed! I didnt expect it to sound so good. Even my father, who didn't like the sound of my old panflute, said that he hears the difference very much.
The flute that I had until now was an Andean one that I modified. I changed the position of the tubes because I couldn't see the idea of having a narrow panflute with two lines of tubes. So I dismounted it and made it a one line stright flute. Well, the sound of the cheap bamboo loses it all.
My name is Vital Mezery and I am a drummer, also I play piano and pan flute, and I produce my own music. In the next few months, I will put to selling on the internet the first album of my musical project which is called "Make me see".
Thank you very much!

Hello from Alabama......Received the Fun Pipes!! Quick service and great packaging!!! No music experience and already making some nice sounds. So.....thanks. Your DVD instructional guide is great and encouraging. Will pass on the great find. And also, just a note to say what a blessing to hear you Brad play "My Tribute". I somehow know that is your song!! I had tears rolling down my cheeks. I don't know of your personal beliefs , but trust me when I say that the ultimate Creator was please to hear you play that song. Thanks to you and yours(Melinda). All in the progress of musical pipes. Continue on the nice work you guys do. The postal service is excellent. ( My husband will be pleased. He is a postal worker in Montgomery, Al.) God best blessings for a wonderful Thanksgiving and Christmas and prosperous New Year.

Today I received the pan-flute. Thank you both for your professionalism and seriousness. The pan-flute that I have received is very good and easy to play. I'm not a musician, it is a hobbie, and I do not even know the notes, but I can sing with this instrument! Thanks Brad, Thanks Melinda and we will email when I need something.

Hi Brad. I love my new pan flute. The tone is every bit as good as I expected. I have a question. Could you coach me a little on how to find the right hole at the right time? For example moving from a C to a G and finding the G easier. Not

Okay, 'thank you' does not begin to cover it all. I am SO pleased with my flute. I pulled it out of its box and put it to my lips and out came the sweetest note I've ever heard in my life. I can't wait until I'm good enough to play in public!
The bottom octave is relatively easy, but I'm finding the top notes are a little harder. My son told me that now that I have my flute, I can learn to play 'Jingle Bells' on it for him. I play the piano so I know the notes and it wasn't hard to find them, but I never thought it would sound the way it does on the flute.
Again, thank you so much. I have a goal to learn to play every musical instrument ever invented before I die, and while I don't hold out much hope that this is realistically possible, you have brought me one step closer :)

Brad; My pan-flute came in today, my! What speed for usps! Its in perfect condition. I pulled it out of the box and played three hymns, before I laid it down. Of course, The sounds weren't correct, yet, But I will learn, and am excited about it all!

Hi Melinda:
Hi Brad and Melinda, my Pan Flute arrived today 26th August 2008. I can't thank you enough. Excellent service. It only took 1 week to arrive here in the UK. I am so thrilled with this amazing instrument. It is truly a work of art. I put your DVD on and listened very carefully to your every word, then kept hitting the pause button and trying what you said to do. First I was getting very windy notes (not like your beautiful tones) then after 5 minutes of huffing and puffing this beautiful sound came from one of the pipes. I had got it in the right position. Well now there is no turning back. I am so in love with this Pan Flute. At the moment I'm a bit dizzy like you said I would be. I am sure that I am going to drive my family crazy whilst I practice. I just can't leave it alone. Every time I pick it up I improve and I'm only on my first day. Even getting the sharps and flats. I must also mention that I have never played a musical intrument in my life yet I seem to have taken to that Pan Flute like a duck to water. I would have never have got the technique of playing this had it not have been for your excellent instructions on your DVD. So thank you thank you thank you for your brilliant service and outstanding Pan Flutes. I will send you an update on my progress in a few months.

Well the pan-flute came in today. It is a very beautiful looking instrument. Though like any other instrument it will take time to be able to make a clear sound out of all tubes. Right now its not to bad because its only the last four tubes that I am having trouble with but eventually I will master it. So anyway I am going to play, so talk to you later. And thanks again.

Mr. White, my panflute just arrived a few days ago and I wanted to thank you for providing such a wonderful instrument. It is a joy even just to hold and look at and I was suprised by the actual amount of volume that it can produce. Even though it was (and still is) a challenge to create clear and consistent tones I look forward to practicing so that I may be able to incorporate its sound into my music. Thank you also for providing the music and sheet music on your website to learn from. The songs are quite beautiful. Best wishes.

By the way...i was playng a bit already today getting very winded..lol.. i used 2 play trumphet for close 2 ten years, don't remeber being this winded back thn..lol..my muscles will get back into it i'm sure, sounds great..thnx again..stephen
Hi Stephen, its just a little hyperventilation.. that goes away very quickly. Basically you are exhaling your air too quickly because at this beginning stage you waste most of the air stream. As your air stream becomes focused you will only need a fraction of the air that you are using on day 1. Soon you will be able to play the full scale of notes on a single breath. Be sure to breath from your diaphragm as I show in my DVD video. Glad to hear you are enjoy it.
Dear Brad,
Then, as I was thinking to myself, "This is going to require some real hardcore discipline" (which of course it is), it "clicked". I found the "sweet spot"! I made sounds. I produced notes! I was hooked and elated. Thank you for giving me a "shot in the arm" after 46 years of enjoying the guitar. Now I can look forward to producing beautiful sounds and sending them forth with new enthusiasm.
Hi Alan, I am thrilled that you are on your way. Keep experimenting with the position of the flute. It should be just under your lip. Sometimes looking in the mirror helps. It's like riding a bike, once you get the feeling you will never forget it :) You will just pick up your pan flute and play. Enjoy!!
Dear Brad,
It is a pleasure to play your panflute.
Hi Brad,
I just got back from the post office with the pan flute. It is beautiful! Thank you!!! It came with a book and a dvd and was packaged very well. I am enjoying learning how to play it. :) Here are some pictures. Thank you very much!!!
Hey Brad.........................
I am very pleased.
Got the flute on Monday and I am loving it. It is easier to play than I expected, perhaps because I've been wrestling with a shakuhachi for a few months now. I was never very good at embouchure before that. Anyway, I am very pleased with the quality of construction and have been practicing often. Thank you! - Ethan
Hi Melinda & Brad,
Dear Brad.
Brad, this is beautiful workmanship! I spread all the paraphernalia on my living room floor very carefully not to miss anything and finally held this very gorgeous instrument in my hands. Before I even tried a single pipe I sat and began reading those two wonderful books on pan flutes. My first book on how to play the acoustic guitars was a book published by Mel Bay. But how can this be? That was over 50 years ago. I have yet to run the DVDs you have included. It is a little late for a Sunday try out on my flute and I do want to run the DVDs first.
But mainly, I want to thank you and your wife keeping me posted on delivery and workmanship. I am so happy to see that the instrument has your signature. Wish me luck in learning to play. When accomplished I shall record something and send to you. Even if it's a heavy material like London Bridge is Falling down, etc. Again, thank you and if there is anything that I can do for you and your Wife from here in Riverside, e mail me. Thanks again.
