Butch,
Just had to drop you a line to tell you how happy I am with my flute purchase. I bought a Padauk wood A minor flute last week at Indian Summerfest in Milwaukee. I own over 20 flutes and by far your flutes play and sound the best. And, the Padauk wood just blows me away! In direct sunlight it is simply on fire. Yours are the Ferrari's of the flute world. Keep up the good work.
