Brent Haines Low A Teak and Ebony

Description

The first flute Brent made was hand carved from cedar stock and tuned by ear. It ignited Brent's creative energies, which burned within for 10 years waiting for the right time. The smoldering fire, started from his childhood experiences and joy with building and playing his first flute, ignited in full flame ... and he knew he had to build another flute. Brent applied engineering skills to study the science behind the Native American Style Flute. He wrote a computer program that calculated the tuning for a wide range of flutes. Far from perfect the first time, it was good enough to create his first E minor flute made from African Wengi wood. As time went on, he fine tuned his program and his flute building skills.
