‘Many thumbs up’ on this warm-sounding Flute! Just a few days after I (quickly) received my E minor, I performed on it in a church with wonderful, vaulted ceiling acoustics, and folks absolutely loved the sound! I just composed a long piece for THIS E Minor Concert Flute with Piano, and can’t wait to perform it next month! Great, consistent craftmanship, Butch! ~Jacki St. Louis, MO

Butch, Laura / Family…and NA Flute enthusiasts~ Le Mita Cola is a great student flute! Having seen and tested over 20 ‘Le Mita Colas’ for my students and friends, I can say that these G minor Flutes are dependable, consistently well-made, and just sweet-beautiful-sounding instruments! When I need a gentle and warm sound, I do not hesitate to play my ‘Le Mita Cola’ in performance! Wonderful student model…fine for performance and backup! Terrific price!! We’re pleased with your Flutes, here in STL, MO, Butch! ~Jacki

Hi folks,
I just received my "Le Mita Cola". What a wonderful flute with clean, clear notes and feather carvings for a very low price. I do like the new style "block".
I have one of your F#s in walnut with the old style block and I like the way it sits low to the flute nest. I’ve always liked the style of bird carving with feathers and I like that the narrowness of the new style doesn’t add bulk to the flute. It appears integrated with the flute and complements it without appearing to be perched on it like some larger ones do. Hope you’re enjoying the Fall.
thanks for another enjoyable flute,
Dave Margolis

I’ve had the Little Horse A minor for years and have loved it, but the A minor concert flute was a good step up. The tone of this flute is gorgeous: high, bright, and clear. It has plenty of volume, though it plays very softly, too. I keep the flute on a side table and can’t resist picking it up and playing it every time I pass it. Though I have stretched out to collect Butch’s flutes in lower keys, I still love the light, joyous sound of the A minor, and how easy it is to play. I have become a huge fan of Butch Hall’s flutes. They are elegant, very pleasing to look at, and sound wonderful. It’s amazing that you can get such a professional flute at such a reasonable cost. Thanks, Butch, for such a beautiful instrument.

Man, do these flutes sound great. After starting with the Little Horse A minor, I decided to go for a couple of Butch’s Concert flutes. While the F# minor reminds me of being in the canyons at twilight, the G minor reminds me of being on top of the mesas, in the sun. It has a clear, bright sound. The G minor is wonderfully versatile. I can play it easily with other instruments, and not a day goes by that I don’t pick it up and just improvise on it. It is capable of mellow, soothing tones, or of louder sounds with a bit of "attitude." I love how clean and elegant Butch’s flutes are. They are beautiful to look at, easy to play, and to me, sound as good as any flutes out there, at considerably lower costs. I love this flute.

I got bitten by the bug. Having fallen in love with my Little Bird A minor and E minor concert, I wanted to try flutes in other keys. I recently had trouble deciding between the G Minor and F# minor, but I liked Butch’s flutes so much, I wanted to stick with his. I ended up with both. The F# does indeed have that haunting, traditional sound that you hear on many Carlos Nakai albums, that evokes Native traditions and the canyons of the desert Southwest. I love this flute. It’s impeccably crafted. Once I start playing it, it’s hard to stop. I love playing it at home, especially in the morning or evening. It’s extremely meditative and peaceful. I also can’t wait to take it to Echo Canyon in northern New Mexico. It’s amazing that through Butch you can get such a professional, great-sounding instrument at such a reasonable cost.

Right now, this is my favorite flute. I wasn’t looking to spend a lot of money on a highly ornate instrument. I wanted an E minor flute that sounded superb, and I found it in Butch’s Concert. I have small hands, so it was a bit of a challenge to reach that lowest note at first. But I soon adapted. It looks beautiful, has an elegant simplicity, and a gorgeous low, deep tone. I keep this flute on a table by my living room window, and whenever I pass it, I have to pick it up and play it. It’s the flute on which I’m really learning breath control and vibrato. A few times, neighbors strolling by in the evening have stopped to listen. I’m amazed at how light these flutes are, and still project so well. The E minor goes beautifully accompanied by my guitar as well.

My wife surprised me with this flute when she attended the Gathering of Nations in Albuquerque a number of years ago, where Butch and Laura were attending. It was easy to learn and start playing., especially with Butch’s books.This is a beautiful cedar flute with a gorgeous tone, and I still keep it next to me and play it regularly, even with my Concert flutes around. I think it is the best value in the Native flute world. The A minor is a bright, higher, beautiful key–happy, but also capable of haunting sounds. The finger spacing is easy, even for a child. The Little Horse is compact, and fits nicely in a backpack. It sounds great when I play it outdoors, in the woods or in a canyon. I also didn’t realize it would go so well with my guitar, and I used it to make a sort of cover of "Stairway to Heaven," of all things, on my laptop, This flute led me down the path of becoming a lover of the Native American flute.
