As I have sort of gotten to know a few of the more common posters around here via their posts, I have become very curious about just exactly what NA flutes you all have. Now I know for some of us, tallying up all our babies can be a somewhat daunting task, but I also know that we all secretly love to show them off. One of my favorite things about going to a flute circle gathering is seeing everyone elses flute collection, but I will also guiltily admit to enjoying showing off mine. And while we obviously can't have the same experience here online, I thought if we could all list what we had, (currently mind you, I understand that all our collections are apt to change ) People could then at least ask questions about specific flutes and makers directly to people who own them. I did a quick search of past posts and couldn't find anything quite like this, I apologize if I missed one and this has already been done.
Me first:

A picture of most of these flutes can be seen on my personal website, link listed below.

I may have to go back upstairs and do another quick search to make sure I didn't miss any, but that will do to start. I'd really love to see some of the pros who haunt this forum list what they currently have (cough...Jeff Ball...cough) or even see what some of the makers play, or do makers just play their own flutes?

Wow, that's a hefty collection Kevin! If I had a collection that big I'd never play any of them cause I'd be too caught up trying to decide which one to play first!

I have six flutes myself, plus one I don't play and a kit I've yet to finish. Am hoping to add a seventh to that number at the end of this month!

Mid A in eastern cedar, mid F in curly cherry, low D eastern cedar all by Douglas Thunderhorse.
F# in black walnut by Matt of Blue Deer Spirit flutes (one of those rare English makers!)
Mid G 'ember flute' in yellowheart by Craig Noss (Fire Flutes)
Mid E eagle flute in Maple by Miguel Medina (Singing Tree Flutes)
The one I don't play is a mid F drone by Sunny Heartley.
And the kit is a drone flute in the key of G I've had sat around for aaaaages and still haven't finished! from Stellar Flutes.

I'll try not be envious looking at your list Kevin... I keep on dreaming about a similar collection in my house...
Well I have only 3 flutes, all High Spirits:
Golden Eagle F# in aromatic cedar
Condor low D aromatic cedar
Kestrel high D birch

I also have some other flutes, a few recorders, the best one being a Fehr Alto in pear wood
and a hulusi in C (gourd and bamboo of course).

I'm sure the collection will grow...

Tootie, is he still a mystery since his picture shows up on the Yosemite Flute Festival page (under Silent Auctions)?

Well I don't have many, so this won't take long.

High Spirits - Golden Eagle F# (aromatic cedar)

Butch Hall - Little Bird B, and Concert tuned G (both cedar)

Amon Olorin - PF, has both F# and G bodies (ABS Plastic)

I enjoy them all and play them all but Leroy's and Brent's are exceptional.

Tootie, So which do you like better Colyn's or Randy's? Or not necessarily like better....I've seen lots of great reviews of Colyn's flutes. What do you think of Randy's flute?

Both are an actual feasible driving distance from me that I could actually play before I pay.

Ok, that just might get to be the longest post I ever put up.

Don't know that my list is entirely up to date, so let me check that, and get back to you.

Nokeys, Randy's flutes are similar to Colyn's, but Colyn's have a little more distinctive tonality, which sets his apart. (Don't ask me how he gets that....I am not a flute maker.)

I like Randy's flutes fine, although I only have an F#. Friends of mine have them, also, and they are very nice flutes.

Comparing them key for key, I would venture that in F#, they sound very similar, and play very similar, but variations in wood, and block, might make some small differences. I actually played Randy's more, at one time, but now I have even more flutes I like, in that key, so I spread it around more.

You would likely be happy with either maker. Of course, if you get a Colyn with some of Kitty's gorgeous art on it, that can make a difference.

Mark, I can't decide if collections like yours make me jealous or feel better about myself.

I met a guy on myspace who has over 90 NA flutes, Just from Brent Haines alone!

Hmm. Guess it depends which direction I feel like driving. Thanks Penni

I hear what you are saying about feeling better. I go look at my collection and wonder what is wrong with me

That being said, the guy you are talking about who has 90 Brent Haines flutes makes me feel better. When I am really wondering if my desire to collect more flutes is normal or healthy, I just think about Dan "Noisy Bear" Ricketts or Angel Cruz and I feel normal again.

Also, I have been collecting for about 15 years. I know several collectors who have acquired 50 or so flutes in under 3 years. At that rate they will own 255 flutes in 15 years. That is a bunch more than I own.

Mark

Rick - you say "Ok, that just might get to be the longest post I ever put up.", but I don't see a long post from you...

Where's the list, man?

Jason

Gregory's loading extra gigabytes to make room.

Drive whichever direction you can still find gas.

Flute Makers- NAF flutes only
By Rick McDaniel
Number in parentheses, is the number of flutes acquired to date
An “HR” means highly recommended (the flutes talk to me)

(Some makers have stopped making flutes, therefore they are not listed. Some flutes have found new homes, and those makers are not listed. Some may have just flat been missed, so I will update as I find omissions and changes.)

At least 2 more flutes are planned, to complete my basic key selection, and of course, whatever else I can afford, before I retire, in a couple of years.

Laura, how do you like your "ember" flute?

Lee Johnson was my go to guy, but alas he stopped making flutes, before I got one.

How did you know?!?

I just didn't want to mess up anyone's evals.

SHHH!! I can't say anymore!

Great list Rick.

Thanks,
Jason

Penni,

I prefer Colyn's to Randy's. I play it more. Both flutes are G, but Colyn's flute has a better sound to me. It has a fuller sound and the sound is cleaner to me.

Wowie Zowie Rick!

I read your very impressive list twice. Which keys could you possibly me missing? LOL

Wasn't hard to put two and two together...hope I didn't jump the gun, since evals are nearly complete. I won't say anything more either. Now we can both seem mysterious.

Here's the list of my NA flute collection:

Donald Coolidge
tune to itself: cedar (my first NA flute)

Mad Max
Am: zebra wood
F#m: flamed maple
Em: walnut
Gm drone: walnut

Pat Haran
Gm: Port cedar
Gm mutli mode: Eastern cedar
Am drone: maple

Paul Salaba
Fm: maple

Odell Borge
Am: ebonized walnut

Laughing Crow
Gm: Eastern cedar
Em: Eastern cedar w/ tiger maple

Brent Haines
F#m: maple burl

Marvin Yazzie
F#m: redwood

Randy Stenzel
Bm: leopard wood

JP Gomez
F#m drone: walnut

Ed Hrebec
G#m drone: tiger maple

Coyote Oldman
G#m Anasazi: cedar

Geoffrey Ellis
F#m: Alaskan cedar (JB signature)
Am Anasazi: cedar (Scott August signature) (new: got today)

Bruce Hall
Little Horse (A) co-own with 8 year old daughter

Michael Graham Allen(Coyote Oldman)
Turtle Flute (E)
Anasazi (G)
Anasazi (A)

Geoffrey Ellis
NAF (F#) Red Wood(On order)
Anasazi(On order)

In Poland is hard to find native american flutes, very hard, I found my Lupaca by case, on web auction, It cost me 23$ was used (a little) sound is low & warm. I have only one NAF flute... unfortunately

My missing keys include:

low Bb, 1 more low C, high F#, and high G. I can also use, but do not require, at least one drone in A, F, E, or D. Art flutes are always desirable, when I can find them, as well. Anything beyond that, is gravy.

Hey Rick. I have often seen the term "art flute" used on this forum. Does it just mean any flute that has been decorated in any way (ie burning, inlay etc.) or is there a more specific meaning? Thanks
Kevin

Art flutes either have carving, woodburning and/ or painted designs, or a combination thereof. Often they have special carved blocks, as well. They would not normally be considered "standard" configurations from a maker.

Often they will be spirit flutes or have other special meaning to the player.

You're gonna love that redwood!

Rick, I really enjoy my ember flute. It's quiet but very sweet, so it's perfect for playing when others are around and you don't want to disturb them, or to play something soothing in the background. I prefer a quieter flute anyway so it suits me very well. Craig said he very nearly kept this one for himself, and I can see why he was tempted!

I do have a review for it on the forum which I'll update using the new template soon.

I've been collecting for seven year's, here's my list.

Spirit of the woods:

A walnut
G ayc
F# lacewood



Earth Tone:

D black limba



Woodland Voices:

E AYC
C# AYC
C WRC
D#AYC-fire treat


Odell Borg:

G ERC

THUNDER BEAR FLUTES:

high C eastern red

KUZIN BRUCE:!!
G# maple
Bb maple
F walnut
F# figured maple

FEATHER RIDGE FLUTES:
high B hickory


I'm content with my collection,but alway's lookin to add to it.
I'm content

Thanks, Laura. I have chatted by email, about the flute, but wasn't sure how the voicing would be. I do prefer a strong voiced flute, so that is valuable information.

I have 3 Ken Lights(Gm, Am, Cm), 4 Michael Graham Allens-Coyoteoldman(Em, small Em, altered E, Anasazi, one Jp Gomez Em, and a couple of Scott Loomis(Am,Gm,Fm,F#m,Em,low D, Low C, and 4 of his one off painted Bird flutes). Oh yea, 3 Chris Ti Coom (F#m, Em, Am).

Wow Mike,

That sounds like a spectacular collection and includes some very unique and interesting pieces. I hope that you can make it up to Raleigh to visit our circle one of these days and bring a few along with you .

Ed

I knew you had a bunch of flutes ! It looks like you have really done a good job on choosing your flutes both quality and quantity. I sure hope someday I get to see it. I am working on a prototype case for the flute you asked about. I will let you know how it turns out. Thanks for the idea.

Mark

Thanks Ed I would like to do that alot ......I need to get involved with some other fluties and would really enjoy it. And that sounds great Mark. Im always eager to give ideas especially ones that may help someone else with things they have going on and besides you make a good product !!..........
Blessings To All Mike

Mark, I want to knwo if ALL of your flutes are on that website or do you have some that you haven't put there?

Angel, just how many flutes do you have?!

Hi Jan,

Truthfully, I do not have all my flutes photographed and listed. I have a new one from Leroy Cully, one from John Stillwell, and one from Gary Khul that I do not have up yet. I also have some simpler flute that I do not have up on the website. For instance, I have several from Butch Hall that are rather plain and a few from Greg Jones that are just made of all Alaskan Yellow cedar. I think I have about 80% of them online but that other group keeps eluding me. I have also been known to sell or give away those more plain flutes so that number keeps changing. I have a small collection of world flutes, such as a buffalo horn flute that I have not photographed. I found a box of Ditzi(sp.) flutes this week while cleaning the flute room that I did not know I had. I guess I need to clean more frequently .

Regarding amazing flute collections, Dan and Ken Bogart have the biggest collections I am aware of. I know Dan has the most high end with amazing custom flutes. Ken has a collection of old flutes from Dr. Paine's collection and new flutes. I have heard Dennis Sizemore and Mary Youngblood have mind boggling collections, but that is all word of mouth. I am not sure exactly what is in Angel's collection, but what I do know is there, his collection is wonderful. Take care and have a great day!

Angel.......nice to see you post. You have been sooooooo quiet of late. Been wanting to ask about Potomac, and whether the festval is going to continue. I recall seeing / hearing something about due to scheduling issues, you might not have that venue available again.

over 240... i have documented some 200, the others i will eventually get rid of... one of these days i will put the info into a Filemaker database i created and then onto a website.

i have mainly Geoffrey Ellis and Colyn Petersen.
