My wife Nicole has hand carved and painted a vine motiff and I have woodburned a geometric symbol - we can do this design or anything you would like on this flute.

If you want something specific with the finish or with the symbology, put the specifics into the comment box when you place your order. We can re-create anything artistically.

Head out into special nature spots to play near streams and rivers or walk to great acoustical spots in your neighborhood which feature large natural reverberation. I find the interesting spots can help you to tune in and deeply explore the meditative sounds of your bamboo flutes.

Review on the middle eastern forest flute by Raymond Robinson:
"Sometimes when you are researching flutes you come across wonderful makers who are quietly making facinating flutes. They deserve a wider audience and one of those makers is Thomas Richardson (www.thomasrichardsonmusic.com). I now own a unique one off design Middle Eastern Forest flute from Thomas' wide range. These are not expensive instruments but are made with the highest care and quality. This is a four holed flute with thumb hole and has a great scale. Thomas made this flute with an eagle on it as one of my favourite verses in the Bible is "God lasts. He's Creator of all you see or imagine. He doesn't get tired out, doesn't pause to catch breath. And he knows everything, inside and out. He energizes those who get tired, gives fresh strength to dropouts. For even young people tire and drop out, young folk in their prime stumble and fall. But those who wait upon God get fresh strength. They spread their wings and soar like eagles; they run and don't get tired, they walk and don't lag behind." ISAIAH Chapter 40 verses 28 to 31. Translation "The Message". Take the opportunity to visit Thomas' website. His has a large range of flutes and other instruments. Just brilliant"

Correspondence on this design:

Correspondence from Raymond after receiving his custom middle eastern eagle motiff flute : The flute arrived a few days ago and I have only had a little time with it. Love the work on the design and the sound. I was messing around today and recorded a little short track. I simply made up a melody and then played another 2 times over it improvising as I went along. Just a rough track as I do not have proper recording equipment, so the quality of the recording is not great but it gives you an idea of sound. It took about 15 minutes to complete.

This is the most wonderful flute I have ever owned. It plays so easily, I mean just a baby's breath. No other flute I own plays so easy. The sounds are strong, notes are wonderful. I am blown away here..lol.. Thank you again for this work of art!
