Dear Brad and Melinda,

Thank you! My beautiful Tenor Panflute just arrived, snugly packed and in perfect condition... and I love it! I've only had it for a few hours, but the positioning is already starting to feel natural when I bring it my lips to blow. I'm so excited that I'm actually going to learn to play!

I'm planning to travel the world in the next few years, and a visit to you guys is now high on my list - who knows, by then I might be good enough to play along with Brad! Keep up the amazing work, and God bless you!

I have been too busy having fun with it to say...

WHAT A NICE PANFLUTE! THANK YOU!

I am a professional musician: harpsichord, harp, recorders, and hammered dulcimer are my favorites to play, along with the sound of panflute. Thank you very much.

Thanx Melinda !

Day 2 of self-teaching !

Can hear improvement. (it can't go any other way!)

Am starting to produce sporadic but real notes on the higher end. Lower end is sporadic as well, but getting real notes a higher percentage of the time.

My wife read Brad's sheets carefully this morning, then picked up the flute and slowly played every pipe, getting a proper note out of every one ! I did advise her that they were "our pipes", not "my pipes"........ looking forward to the time when we can both play them together.

Thanx again, and I do appreciate Brad's offer of support !

Best Regards and thanx .......... David

Hi Melinda and Brad,

Thanks to both of you, for your excellent support service and time that you have taken to educate me, I know my niece Emma will appreciate your support as well when questions a rise. It’s nice to know that there will be someone there to assist her on her new journey.

Hi Brad

The pan flute made it to Ohio, safe and sound and in time for my daughter's birthday. I don't know if you wrap all packets in pretty paper or if you just did that for her, since I had e-mailed you that it was her birthday. It added such a personal touch, which we appreciate very much.

She opened her present this morning and has taught herself "Frere Jacques" already...

Thanks again from (for once) sunny Ohio,

Sandy

Hi Sandy, Melinda wanted to wrap it special for her birthday. Enjoy.. brad

end. We're looking forward to a lot of beautiful sounds ahead!

Sincerely,

Sandy


4-16-08 - Germany

Hi Brad and Melinda, today I received my panflute and I already started to play! I am not sure but I guess it took 5 days to be here.

Once more, I want to thank you for your incredibly good service and all the great books and dvds you sent along with the panflute. It also seems to be very good quality, so I am highly motivated to learn how to play.

Bye, and I will tell you about my progress!! Thanks again!

Best regards, Christine from Germany


4-16-08 - USA

Dear Brad,

I returned home from work at about 4:30 pm and found that my PanFlute had arrived in perfect shape.

It is a beautiful instrument. So easy to play. Within minutes, I was playing 'Three Blind Mice'. I love the sound. Have also read through the Book and your note. I look forward to spending many hours enjoying this great instrument.

Thank you for its quality and beauty.

Sincerely yours,

Keith

Dear Brad,

Just writing to tell you that i just got the pan flute in the mail today.

I am very eager to start playing it, Thanks a lot for helping me by making this beautiful instrument.

Regards.............

4-14-08 - USA

Hi Brad,

Just received my Pan Flute today, thank you very much! It was quite evident when I saw it that you certainly put a lot of effort in to it's craftsmanship. Your pride in your work and in your music shine brightly. I have been wanting to try an instrument for a while but due to my spinal cord injury I have limited finger dexterity. My decreased lung power may also be an obstacle but I'm willing to give it a try and see how it goes.

There really isn't a sound like the pan flute, which does add to it's allure. I'm impressed with your mastery of it.

Thanks again

Dave

Thanks for the second DVD disc. It arrived in good shape, and went right into the player for the TV. After watching for a while, Ruth whipped out the instrument and started right in. It is superb. She is having such fun practicing and hearing music from the fluter. This has been wonderful. Ruth has wanted to have a flute for so long, and now her wish has been fulfilled.

Aloha, Ray

Aloha Brad and Melinda,

I have received today one of the most beautiful handmade instruments ever; and I own quite a few. Just beautiful. And the most rewarding sound. I thank you both very much. Not only for the instrument, but for the obvious all important dedication that you have engaged in providing the venues and advancement to this wonderful instrument.

That in itself is quite the accomplishment.

Most Sincerely,

Ronald

Hi Brad,

I wanted you to know that my panflute which I ordered via my friend Jeroen has arrived a week ago (wednesday).

I wasn't home till now, so I couldn't let you know.

Thank you very much, I'll be happy to learn this beautiful instrument, because she really is!!

She was packed with great care, thank you very much!

Maybe, you'll hear about me later as a professional panflute player :-)

greetings,

Maarten (Belgium)


3-30-08 - Denmark

Hi Brad and Melinda

Thank you so much for the beautiful Panflute!

It did arrived the 25/3 2008, which mean it only took 8 days for the flute to arrive to Denmark.

I really hope I will learn how to play it, but likely everything else all beginning is hard... :)

Best regards

Nina


3-28-08 - USA

Dear Melinda and Brad,

The Panflute arrived in a timely manner and it is beautiful. I could play the low octave immediately and am working on the others. Yesterday I managed to play all the notes, but the high ones were loud and shrill. Naturally, I have no control as yet.

We are part time farmers (cattle) and spring is here. Suddenly we need to douse the cattle for mites, kill thistles either by hoe or herbicide, spray the fruit and nut trees with copper sulfate, plow the veggie garden, and plant the strawberries that arrived the same week as my flute. Sigh. Anyway, practice time has been slim and I haven't even checked out the videos.

When I get a little further along, I will try to write and let you know how it is going. I do love the sound I'm getting - especially on the low notes.

Thanks for my beautiful instrument.

May peace be within you, - Mary Rose.

---------------

Hi Mary Rose, The high notes take more time to develop. Hold lots of long tones to get your muscles in shape. Soon you will be able to play them sweet and pretty.... brad


3-27-08 - Canada

Hello Brad,

The flute arrived today, thank you very much.

The craftsmanship is outstanding. Now I just need to get at it! So far, not as easy as you make it look!

All the best,

Mike

HI Mike, you will be surprised in a few months when you look back at all the progress you have made .... brad

Hello Brad and Melinda,

Today I went to the postoffice during work and picked up a beautifully crafted Pan-flute. I thank you for your craftsmanship and attention to detail. I took it into work and everyone was impressed. Not with the sound I made but with the flute. My first attempt was miserable but I finally made a proper note and received an ovation. (silly friends). I wish to thank you for your friendly and professional way. After 30 minutes of practice and study I was able to make what I called a musical sound instead of noise.. Again Thank you for all you do.

Aloha Brad & Melinda:

I rec'd the beautiful Grand Tenor Pan Flute on Saturday, 3/22/08. Thank you so....much. It is just Beautiful. I just love it already. I love the beautiful tones it creates. I am enjoying playing a few of the simpler songs, written in the key of C. I have had a little note reading for silver flute and piano in the past. But it has been about 9 years since piano lessons. I will continue to practice to get the notes clear and continue to work on speed. Again thank you so much. It is a fine quality instrument. I am so happy to have found your Web Site.

Aloha,

Robyn

Hi there,

Just to let you know the flute arrived last thursday (superrrrrrrrrrrrrrrfast)

Allready spend several hours playing it. A big advantage that I allready play flutes like the shakuhachi so I could pick it up straight away and start playing.

Making a lot of progress in a short time...love it

Funny to hear you lived in the Netherlands for several years....it is a small world after all.

Thanks again.

Keep up the good work

In Harmony

Aloha en groetjes

Brad and Melinda:

The Tenor Flute arrived on Saturday. Fast Delivery. Excellent packing.

I must truly compliment you on the excellent craftsmanship. The details are very appreciated from my perspective as a person that loves and produces wood carving on his own.

The DVD is much appreciated as well as the instructions.

Thanks, Brad, this will not be an E Bay type wall hanger, but a professional instrument to be proud of.

Will let you know later how things progress.

Regards,

Donn

3-22-08 - USA

Brad,

Thanks for the pan flute. I have just received it and it looks great! I was impressed with the packaging, very professional, and the cosmetics of the flute. The wait was a bit long, but definitely worth it after I've seen the finished product. Thanks for the instructions, they were very clear and easy to understand, I don't think I will need to bother you for help at all. Thanks again and keep up the good work!

Hey-

I just got it from the delivery guy and I've got to say... It's beautiful. Just playing it for a little while feels great (though I have to get used to controlling my breath since I haven't played anything like a flute in a long time :). If anyone asks me where to get one, I'll refer them to your site.

Thank you very much, again!

GLENN


3-20-08 - USA 

Hi Brad,

I got my pan flute this morning, It is so beautiful! It is such a magnificent instrument. I haven't played my sax in a long time and my breathing is very rusty, so now I have to overcome my lightheadedness again hah :) I was able to achieve sound through all the pipes even the highs I was surprised I could for a first time.

I will keep you informed of my progress as I learn more I know its going to take me a while to get it right.

Thanks so much Brad! you and yours have a great one!

-James

Great work, I appreciate it. :) Richard

The birthday package for Randy has arrived. And...beautifully wrapped! (Too beautifully wrapped for me to even venture a peek. Can\'t wait to travel to MN and have him open it.)

What a "lift" to find such excellent, quick, and personal service.

Thank you so much. Carol


3-5-08 - USA

Dear Brad and Melinda,

Just wanted to let you know that I am getting better on the flute. I have concentrated more on the high end (because it is more challenging) and can make pretty nice sounds across the board. Once I have the embouchure down then I will begin learning songs and to read music (I have always played by ear). I love my grand tenor so much. People think I'm crazy of course, taking it with me every where I go and practicing. :-)

Brad and Melinda,

Thank you so much for the pan flute. I am already enjoying learning how to play. The book you sent along is excellent as is the DVD Brad created. I am very much looking forward to playing in my Church; even if it might be a little while before I am able to. Thank you again for all your help in getting started.

Hi Melinda,

I have received my beautiful pan-flute saturday morning (Feb 23, 08) in Edmundston NB Canada. The packaging was well done and my pan-flute is looking and playing better than I was expected. It was my first e-transaction by the way and doing business with you was a charm! Please keep me in touch if you are developping new stuff like DVD's, CD's or a custom case for my grand tenor...

Special thanks to Brad... Like you have already notice, I'm french and Brad was really easy to understand and to deal with.

Thanks again!

Jean-Guy


2-24-08 - USA

Hi Brad,

We did receive both pan flutes in perfect order. Thankyou very much. Rebecca has taken her panflute to school to show her band instructor and he would like her to go to a music night in Thompson and play something simple just to show it off. He was quite excited.

Wesley was thrilled to recieve his pocket panflute for his birthday. He's just getting the hang of blowing on it right.

Thanks again

Pat


2-23-08 - USA

Dear Mr. and Mrs. White,

I received the pan flute a day early and couldn't be happier with it! I just

finished the performance I needed it for and everyone was very impressed with

the flute (as well as the fact I was able to learn to play it in such a short

amount of time). Thank you so much for your speedy service. I really

appreciate your work.

Sincerely,

Andrew


2-22-08 - USA 

Hello Brad,

I received my 15 pipe pan-flute with instruction book and DVDs last week. I love this instrument very much! I am just wondering where can I get the musical notes for the music in your albums like Rainforest, Voyage, Matsuri etc. Please let me know.

Regards

K.B

Hello Kulbhushan,

Take a look at my shop's website in the section called "Free Sheet Music". There you will find more than 40 pieces with audio and video... many of those include the written notes as well. I will be adding more all the time. Enjoy!! - Brad

Aloha Melinda, aloha Brad,

Brad and Melinda White,

The parcel arrived this morning - thankyou very much, I am very pleased with the purchase and have been enjoying playing the panflute today.

I am a music student, soon to be going on to higher eductation to perform a music degree, with my first instrument being recorders. I also play the orchestral flute, and would love to be able to play the pan flute.

Thanks again,

Sumita


2-20-08 - Montreal, Quebec

Hi Melinda and Brad,

The parcel was delivered this morning. Once completely defrosted (the temperature is near zero *F today), I'm sure that tenor panflute will help me produce what I would call a warm sound! For what I can feel, you give the impression of being very dynamic people, trying to offer a very honest product. I thank you very much and send you my best regards.

Pierre
