Welcome to Second Voice, Native American style flutes, individually handmade in England using the finest traditional cedar, soft and hardwoods.
And welcome to what I hope will start you, or help progress you, on your flute journey. From a strange sequence of unplanned events, I came to make my first Native American style cedar flute on Dartmoor in 2002 under the superb guidance of Nigel Shaw and Guillermo Martinez. With the first notes that I managed to produce from it, I immediately realised that I had been granted a precious gift - a second voice. Making these haunting, melodic instruments has since become a spiritual and practical life path.
The flutes shown in the Galleries are a small selection and simply there as examples; you can choose whatever combination of characteristics you would like, as I handcraft each flute to the player. Some of the most recent and expressive flutes are shown on the new Custom and Gathering flute pages, while the Healing flute page shows how crystal and flute energies can be combined to provide a powerful source of spiritual relaxation.
So, whether you are already a flute player, a musician or novice looking to expand musical horizons, someone looking for an easy-to-play instrument for a youngster (see the Little Owl gallery), a collector of traditional instruments, or just a lover of art in wood, please feel free to browse and to make contact at any time, either for more information, to buy, or just to talk about wooden flutes.
