Woodlands style Native American flutes hand crafted by Bryan Towers About the flute maker: I am a registered member of the Six Nations Haudenosaunee from the Cayuga Nation Born in Hamilton Ontario Canada currently living in Stoney Creek Ontario
I am a 53 year old novice native flute maker at the beginning of my flute making journey
These ancient musical instruments give off a very calming tone that is both pleasing to the players ears as well as his or her listeners . The music these instruments can produce is very good for day to day stress relief and is calming to the soul .

David Maracle accomplished Native flute musician ,Stone Carver/Sculptor .Adopted one of my flutes .
I use modern tools to achieve the basic shape ,many of my flutes they are shaped using a belt sander this process creates a some what different shape to each flute . The true sound hole construction ,hole burning ,tuning ,final sanding decorating are all done by hand . My flutes are not mass produced .With the many stages and procedures involved it can take up to two weeks to complete one flute.
