Letters from very happy customers - 2013

6-5-13 - Cottage Grove, Minnesota

Brad .. my order arrived in perfect condition...the pocket pan is a perfect little brother to my tenor and is also in the key of C to complement the G tuning of the tenor...some day in the future I would like to get into the tuning end of it but I have plenty to work on before that...the Complete Panflute Book is very thorough and has much to learn...I will concentrate on the first third for the time being, but it is a great resource. I will be in touch...

Paul

PS.. Your teaching and song dvd's are great too and much appreciated.

I listened to some of your music online and it is sooooo very beautiful, haunting and evocative. Thanks for all your hard work to bless us with your talent and instruments.

In viewing your you tube presentations I learned answers to questions I had as to tuning, sharps/flats, changing keys and how much wind it would take to produce sounds similar to your artistry.

I know our grandson, Hayden, will enjoy your pan flute, and now I want to consider one for myself as well.

We had great difficulty finding any info regarding pan flutes and most places we called had none to offer and could not tell us where to locate one. We found your site by thinking creatively as to a differing approach online. We are so glad we found you!!!

Mr. White,

Thank you for the prompt delivery of my pan flute. I am very much looking forward to learning to play it. I made the rookie mistake of buying one off amazon and as you well know it sounds somewhat less than appealing. I was conflicted about which one of yours to get, they all sound amazing..... so soft and pure... I really liked the tenor but as I am just beginning I went for the intro package and will doubtless buy the tenor in a few months. I have never been a musician, I lack dexterity in my hands and they are very large so playing most instruments is not an option. I woke up one morning a couple weeks ago and decided to learn the pan flute!!! The P.O.S. that I bought almost changed my mind, but then I happened upon your page and other pages that recommended you, so you are helping to keep the obsession alive and I thank you for that!!

Thanks again, I am counting the days until it arrives!! I am 43 and as excited as a 3 year old at Christmas!!

Melinda and Brad,

This afternoon, I received my beautiful Panflute, instruction book with DVD and the instruction sheets with DVD that Brad had prepared along with the handwritten note on the box. You two do a wonderful job personalizing your product and take great care in preparing it for mailing. It all arrived in perfect condition.

Soon I will begin this new challenge of learning more about the Panflute and how to practice toward the lovely sounds this instrument will produce. It is truely a beautiful instrument. The wood itself is so pretty and the workmanship appears flawless. Needless to say, I am quite pleased with it all and am very happy that I chose you to order from.

Thank you so much and I cannot wait to soon get started.

Have a happy day!

Hi Brad,

The Grand Tenor Shoe just arrived and like you said, it is perfect. It is beautiful and the size is great. Every note plays good. I sure made the right choice, thanks to our conversation.

Aloha,

4-3-13 - Bonners Ferry, Idaho

Our daughter is delighted with her pan flute - she hasn't stopped playing since she got it this morning (several hours ago!) She's already playing a few tunes on it (needs to work more on her breathing for sure!) and playing a few hymns from the hymn book. Her flute-playing sister is quite envious, so we may be purchasing another one in the near future. We love the CD of your music as well. Thanks so much for the gift wrapping and everything you included. She has wanted a horse for several years and even said this morning that this is better than a horse!

A delighted family,

Mark and Carolyn and girls


4-30-13 - Orem, Utah

I am listening to Dream eScapes . My goodness, Brad; you are definitely a remarkable Pan-flute musician ! Thanks for the CDs. I am impressed with the service and quality of the instrument. After all my frustration with the first pan flute I bought elsewhere, now I found a legitimate Pan-flute Business I can rely on.

Thanks

Hello Brad & Melinda,

 My Grand Tenor just arrived 10 minutes ago and I opened and already played "Amazing Grace" on it and sound so beautiful, but of course it will take me years to come close to the way you played the same hymn. I did not know that it was so much better than the cheap pan flutes that I already had. Thanks to both of you for your prompt and fast shipment of my pan flute and the kindness and help you shown me. Thanks again...Ron

Hi,Brad & Melinda;

My Pan Flute was delivered at noon today, in good condition and no further payments

indicated. Thank you, very much.

Now to start to find out if you can "teach an old dog, new tricks". Actually; I'm excited about learning to make beautiful music, in a short time for my own amusement, {or, amazement!! ??}

I'll know I have accomplished something when my dear wife lets me come up from the basement to entertain her.

If you don't hear from me, you'll guess I didn't have any problem following your instructions.

Thank you too, for the CD & DVD

Looking to broadening my horizons.

Regards to you both;

Henry

Hello Brad and Melinda,

Today my panflute arrived on Wedsnesday, April 17th. It was delivered this morning. I was surprised that it arrived so quickly and it was all perfectly packaged! This evening I played on it and it sounds great! Woow, such a beautiful panflute! I'm very happy with it.

I play the flute, so I was able to play some notes already. I also watched your instruction video. Your instructions are very clear! Tomorrow I'm going to practice more techniques, can't wait!

Again I want to thank you for the beautiful panflute, service and inspiration you give!

Greetings from the Netherlands,

4-15-13 - Troy, Michigan

Dear Brad,

I received the panflute today (really fast shipping, thanks!).

I did not expect such a gorgeous intrument: it is not only beautiful, it sounds deep and warm,

it has perfect intonation and it is so much easier to play compared to the other two that I had

(a horrible tourist souvenit bought on E Bay and a self made one with cpvc).

I am not happy, I am SUPER happy.

Thanks !

Kindest regards,

Gerardo Pavone

4-4-13 - Lakewood, Washington

Hi Brad. I just wanted to let you know that I just receive my Pan Flute today.

I'm really happy that I got this instrument. I was shock on how easy this instrument can be played It's so awesome that I didn't stop playing with it for over an hour. Also you mention to me last week something about a software where you can slow down a song to figure out what's the note of it or something like that, If I need help something about the pan flute can I contact you anytime? Thanks again Brad, your really an awesome person.

Day1. From June 80 yrs old.

I was happily surprised when my P Flute arrived today. it was well packaged and in perfect condition

I am a little under the weather today,just something going around. BUT I tried for about 8 mins. and learned to tip flute bottom outward or upward and I played the first line of Amazing Grace. Now I, it know will take a lot of practice but I am encouraged Someone asked me once”How do you do that?” I don’t know but if a song is in my head I can pick it out on an instrument. maybe partly from my early childhood piano and a lot from My mother’s both parent’s musical ability.Never the less, I am encouraged about the so called sound I ‘ve gotten in just a few min .

I probably will be calling you some days later but we will see want I can do. How I love the sound when you play on all those videos on U-tube

I am thinking of you both there in BEAUTIFUL HAWAII as I look out my bay window at SNOW. But spring can’t be too far off even in central N.Y.

Thanks

June Jenkins

Day 2.

HI Melinda & Brad,

Just wanted you to know some progress.

Today I am working on the C scale. After 3 (10-12 min.)sessions I actually can play the c scale ,in some fashion, Of course that is after going over your clear instructions again . I am

finding c –g better sounding and consistent (YEH) but a –b still more difficult and hardly get high c at all . Keeping sessions short because my chin below lip is getting irritated.

However I still will work everyday on this because I so love the sound of pan flutes .

thanks June J

Day 3.

well, maybe,3rd day C scale including high C!!! I won’t keep pestering you with these e-mails all the time but I get so excited when even this minute improvement happens. The first 5 lowest sound NICE in spite of quickly running out of breath.

Now I play more of my simple “Kid’s tunes” to get used to where the pipes are situated that is AFTER I make myself do the scales.

..Looking in the mirror surely does help with consistency. Thanks .

As you sit in sunny Hawaii think of us here in Central N.Y with about 5 inches of snow in my yard and Sunday is Palm Sunday.!

Brad, I wanted to thank you for the excellent service and the excellent panflute. I have been practicing and can now sustain a long, clear tone on all the notes except the high G, A, B, and C of the highest octave. Those will still require some strengthening of the embouchure to get a consistent small stream of air. I absolutely love the panflute, and hope to play solos sometime in the future. I also play chromatic harmonica and tuba.

I ordered the instruction book yesterday. Thanks Melinda for your rapid response.

Brad, your site is the best panflute site on the internet. If I become proficient on the panflute, I may later add a panflute in G Major.

Thanks again for the excellent instrument and great website.

Dear Brad and Melinda,

This morning I rolled out of bed, put my pants on inside-out, and went upstairs to check the mail. Upon seeing a a brown box sticking out of the mail box my heart jumped. I had been waiting all week for this. With tea on the table and sleepies still in my eyes I began the unboxing of what is now one of my greatest treasures. As I sounded my first note I could feel that this was this was the beginning of something amazing, a journey I'd be taking the rest of my life. I can't thank you enough for the time and effort you have put into making such a work of art. The pipes are so well crafted and beautiful I'm almost expecting to be told "their for show, not to be played with". You can tell just by looking at the hand-crafted pipes and the personal instruction booklet that the two of you care, you care about what you do and about the people you do it for, which is a very rare thing to see today and I can't thank you enough. Today a part of my life changes, and I'm forever grateful that you could help me with that.

Best Wishes, Dalton Mays

Hello,

I just got my new panflute in the mail and it's beautiful. I love it! (I already played a Romanian tune on it called Siriul: it sounds great).

Thank you so much.

3-7-13 - Houston, Texas

Melinda,

My panflute arrived on Monday and in excellent condition. It is a beautiful instrument and I am actually able to get a good tone out of it sometimes. I know the problem is with my breathing and having a proper shape on my mouth, but I work on it every day. Listening to Brad's CD is my inspiration. Thank you again for your prompt service, your excellent website, and the beautiful panflute.

Aloha everyone at Pan Flute Shop!

Just to let you know, I received my pan flute in good order, and it got here on Wednesday, February 27, 2013.

Thank you! It looks and plays really well, and in a short time (thanks to your DVD and book), I'm already improving my skills. I really like how it can really bring out any mood you desire, almost like it reflects the players mood and soul. Quite mysterious.

All my friends think it's pretty awesome, and no one has thought about a pan flute until I showed it to them, the craftsmanship is fantastic, and it is truly a delight to play.

If I have any questions, I'll let you know.

Thanks again!

Best Regards,

Daniel J Rocha

I want to thank you for sending me your CD, I received it a couple days ago. I was so surprised when it arrived at the house, the best surprises are the ones that are not expected! It was such a major blessing. I played the CD right away and had some friends over at the time and they greatly enjoyed it. The music is so beautiful and peaceful, it puts anyone in a restful state. I just want you to know I realize that you did not have to send me CD but you did that out of the kindness of your heart, and I really appreciate that act of kindness and thoughtfulness. I have recently graduated from Nursing School and will be hopefully getting a job in the next couple months so I plan on purchasing more of your music and instruments in the future. Blessings and thank you again!

Dear Mr Brad & Sis'Melinda,

I finally received the pan flute. Although I had decided to collect it tomorrow, I just gave it one more try yesterday and I received it and in perfect condition.

All I had to pay was the equivalent of 54 cents.

I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for fulfilling my heart's desire. It is indeed a beautiful piece.

Thank you for the two DVDs and the instruction manual.

As soon as I got home We as a family thanked the Lord, our God and dedicated the Pan flute to worship Him.

I will keep in touch with you often for your guidance.

Thank you once again. God Bless you abundantly-Amen

Warm regards,

Vineet

2-17-13 - Kiryat Yam, Israel

Hello melinda.(brad) I just got the package.

The Pan Flute is beautiful, just like i imagined it would be .

Its a bit different to play, from another Romanian pan-pipe i got .

Its top of the tubes is different but i notice its much more fun to play faster melodies .

And its softer on the lips .

I am still sort of an amature, though i can play well since I played a keyboard for many years.

So my practice is on the blowing more then on the melodies .

I am gonna record a song and post it on "youtube" and post it to you as well .

again, I thank you alot for your product.

You guys are the best . good service and good quality .

Thanks from Aviram Markovich . A tennis pro from israel who likes also to play music .


2-10-13 - Palacios, Texas

I received my new Brad White pan flute today and am pleasantly satisfied I got the best. It got here fast and in perfect condition.

By the way I just started playing the pan flute about 6 months ago. Have already played one time at church. Love it. I am 79 years old, so you are never too old to learn. God bless you ZIGGY


2-5-13 - Arizona

Hi Folks,

Received my pan flute in the mail yesterday and it arrived in PERFECT condition. I started playing with it and I think this thing called a pan flute will be a lot of fun and if I get any good at it I will be coming back to you for an up grade. The first thing I see is the pucker and the position, once I master that I think I'm on my way to Tchaikovsky hahaha....

Warmest Regards,

Roger

Brad

Just to advise that the flute arrived on 26 January in perfect condition and there was no problems with our local customs. I now look forward to reading the excellent guide and viewing the DVD's. I have a good friend here who plays the classical flute and he too is looking forward to giving me guidance on getting my blowing technique refined.

Many thanks again

Dear Brad and Melinda,

Here I am now sitting at my kitchen table. It is 10am and I have rushed through the daily chores so that I can give my package - all the way from Hawaii - my fullest attention. What hits me first ? Beautifully clear hand written address. From the outside appearance a well packaged box. Inside a packet that looks suspiciously like a set of Panflutes ! Resist, resist - look at the instructions first and then digest them. More well labelled notes - hand signed none-the-less. DVD and CDs - this gets better and better. Read the instructions played the discs. Flutes still in their own box. Put the kettle on for a cup-pa tea. Like a big child - extending the trepidation of opening the box. Think I better have a lie down - this is all getting a bit much.

Finally, at last, gathered the necessary where- with-all to go the extra distance and open the box. Despite having travelled half way around the world, in sub zero temperatures, my hand reaches in to discover a beautifully crafted set of warm to the touch set of Panflutes - what joy ! To my mouth they go and to my amazement my first note ............ my journey begins.

My most humble appreciation for what has been such a comfortable ride so far with my new found acquisition - all within 10 days - remarkable.

My jaw is aching - must be a good sign as I cannot put the Flutes down.

Best regards and many thanks,

Mark.


1-23-13 - Talent, Oregon

Brad,

Just to let you know that I received the beautifully crafted pan flute and other items today. The sound of the pan-flute music I have heard has reached deep inside me. I am looking forward to my journey of learning to play to whatever level is possible for me at this time in my life.

Hi Brad, My mom bought me a pan flute from your website for my birthday a couple months ago. I had never played the pan flute before ,but I do play other wood wind instruments like the ocarina tin whistle and flute, so I thought it was time to get one. It was such a birthday! Opening it and watching your Dvds telling me everything I wanted to know. The quality of the instrument is incredible! I know which pan flute website to recommend now. Thank you! It was a blessing to me.

Hi Brad and Melinda,

I have received my panflute, together with the lesson book and your instructional DVD today.

Actually the package came on 31 Dec 2012, but I had just seen the notice for collection from our post office only today.

The panflute is very well made, I believe I will have lots of fun learning how to play it.

Thanks for making me the proud owner of such a fine instrument.

Regards,

Hi Brad

Happy New Year and thanks very much for sending the panflute. It arrived on the 31st of December and is beautiful. I know that it is not an overnight journey and look forward to this adventure that I have become. Hopefully I will do business with you again in the future.
