25 Years - And Into The Future
This year I am again reminded that what really matters is the heart's expression through music. The Native flute is a wonderful medium through which the heart finds expression of our deepest feelings. 2015 has been an expansive year for the Native Flute. I have been contacted by flute enthusiasts all over this country and world wide sharing their touching stories of connection to this special instrument...
Odell's Signature Flute Series
The Signature Flute Series had its beginning when we identified all the qualities of the ideal tonal combinations in a flute and how to achieve that consistently. When listing the qualities, the first thing that came up was clarity of voice, which included warmth and fullness on the low notes as well as clean, clear high notes.
This Month - High Spirits 25th Anniversary Concerts in JAPAN!
Headlining each of the concerts is Native American flute musician Mr. Cody Blackbird, a High Spirits goodwill cultural ambassador for our 25th anniversary celebrations in Japan.
Adding Color
The original notion of adding color to the flutes came to me during dream-time, where a few vivid images of pottery, blankets and Kachinas displayed their colorful beauty.
How Low Can You Go?
From the very beginning I was attracted to the voice of deep, resonant bass flutes. They emit a spiritual quality that touches my heart and creates a peaceful mood.
Ebonized Crow Flutes
When I decided to give our flutes the names of bird families, the crows and the ravens stood out because of their abundance where I live. For me, crows have been valuable teachers since they’ve had me rethink the popular opinion that humans are the only intelligent species on the planet.
The Raptor Series
When I began creating flutes, it became clear to me they needed names. It would be easier to relate with my customers when discussing and showing the various differences of each flute. Naming the flutes by key alone did not give enough character. I realized my flutes would need their own identities as well.
