Hello Brad and Melinda,
 
This morning (9th March ,about 11:30 a.m.)  a mailman appeared at my doorway and handed me the long-waited package including grand tenor with shoe, a tuning dowel and instruction booklet as well as the DVD. The flute was packed well! The arrival time was a bit long, about 18 days, but it was worth waiting. So, now it's time to get some practice!
Thank you so much Brad and Melinda!
 
Best regards

Hi Brad: At the age of 75 I am really enjoying my Pan-Flute I received yesterday.  Love-it.  I can't wait to get professional (that's a laugh) maybe someday I will be able to play a song.  My only difficulty is getting a tune from the small pipes, I will in time with your good instructions.
                     Thanks-Leo

Brad- my pan flutes arrived today in excellent condition. These flutes are beautiful and I am very pleased with them. The only problem is they do not play themselves - now I have to work at
learning to play them. I will keep in touch with you as my progress improves.

Hello folks, and Hafa Adai (greetings from Guam); 

Thanks so much for such a fast response and also the attention you guys give to EACH AND EVERYONE even if its just an interest.  I was really happy when Brad personally called, and spent time consulting with me in deciding what to do, for I was very undecided whether to proceed with this desire to learn to play (a desire I carried for some years).  I’m definitely looking forward to getting started.  Again, thanks and may God Bless You both.  

By the way, the Celtic panflute piece is great for indeed, meditating.  Later, Henry.

Dear Mr. White:


Thank you very much for the beautiful pan-flute (Grand Tenor). It arrived safely through the snowstorm on Feb. 9th. It is by far superior to the cheapy one I bought in our local music store. As soon as I got it I couldn't stop playing it. It's a lot of fun to play!

Once again, many thanks.


Chris

PS. Your "Celtic Myst" and "Porcelain Doll" sound really awesome with the pan-flute and piano!

Dear Melinda,
 
I can´t believe it! The flute is arrived! Yeah! What a surprise! 7 days shipping only. And it´s a very beautiful flute. I hope I´ll learn fast how to play it. The instruction book is great. My English isn´t the best but I can understand it. That makes me happy. Now I´ll listen to Brad´s DVD and will try the first steps.
 
Thank you very much for the good wrapping, the NZ Post is very rude but nothing happened to the flute. I was a bit scared about…
 
And the hand written note on the parcel from Brad makes it really personality.
 
As the parcel arrived, I was at work and all the colleagues had been astonished that I received post from Hawaii and all watched my wrapping. At first the note and then the flute – you should have seen their eyes. What a fun I can tell you. And then the first sound… Great! And then I told them, it´s a handmade one – wow! It makes me very proud.
 
By the way, I only want to thank you for all and I hope in the next future I can tell you how it´s going on with study the flute and learning notes… J
 
With best regards
 
Yours (German) Iris, now in New Zealand

2-1-10 Lincoln, Nebraska

Hi Brad,
  I just talked to Melinda on the phone, about 3 days later than I intended to, but wanted to let you both know that I have received my pan flute, and "what a beautiful instrument"!!  I was very pleased with it, and was playing along with your CD, and (when I found the right pipes), was able to harmonize with your playing.  What fun! I know I have a long way to go but I'm sure I will enjoy it, especially once I get over the light headedness. Ha! Have a great afternoon, and thank you!

Brad,
 
The geometry of these pan flutes is phenomenal, meaning the cutting edge that you blow across gives an immediate response.  Very high quality instrument and it has been inspiring.  Best pan flute I have ever played!  The DVD it came with is an excellent resource for beginner or pro. 
 
Thank you for making such a fine instrument.
 
Sincerely,

Hi Brad,
 
Just a little note to tell you that you have made Elmer a very happy boy.
He can't stop playing ever since the panflute came into the house ( It's already driving his brothers crazy, but they will find a way)
Actually I think he's already producing quite a nice sound and he is taking your lessons very seriously. It amuses and pleases me very much to see him so enthousiastic en concentrated.
Hij speelt al wat simpele kinderliedjes.
 
 
The flute arrived on wednesday January 20th. Very fast!
We'll keep you informed on his progress if you like that.

1-10-10 Merseyside, United Kingdom

Hi Brad,

Just to let you know that the Grand Tenor (Inlayed Special) arrived today (10th January).  Remarkably it was delivered on a Sunday because of the recent snow we've had here which seems to have brought the country to a halt - so therefore only took 6 days to get here.

Absolutely delighted with it and even though I've only been using it for a couple of hours I've been able to get all of the notes but the very highest ones.

All the best,

Roger Bate

1-8-10 Knoxville, Tennessee

Hi Brad!  Thank you so much my pan flute arrived and we are snowed in today
so I get to practice, watch the great dvd you sent, and study the book.
Thanks so much.  I was a flute player 50 years ago so I do remember how to
produce the sound but my muscles are tired so will continue to practice.
Thanks for everything!  And enjoy the wonderful weather!  Diane Richards

1-5-10 Littleton, Colorado

Hi Brad,
 
So… What’s the pilots name?  I cannot believe how quickly my panflute arrived!!!  You must have handed it directly to the pilot.   I told the guy at the post office would you believe this package was sent from Honolulu on Thursday Dec. 30th and it arrived at my house, in Colorado, on Monday Jan. 4th.  He was as shocked as I was.  I have purchased a lot of items over the internet from here in the States and I have NEVER had anything delivered that quickly.  I keep looking at my calendar.  I’m shocked!!!
 
My daughter was home on Monday but she must not have heard the door bell so I picked up my flute this morning from the post office on my way to work and have just now opened the package.
 
When we talked on the phone you mentioned how some of the folks in the Lion King were playing some of your panflutes.  Speaking of Disney.  I met Eric Goldberg (creator of Genie from the animated film Aladdin) several years ago and I told him… you know it really looked like you guys had a lot fun making that film.  And he said thank you that’s the best complement I could receive.
 
I would like to tell you the same thing.  You could tell that you really love and have a lot of fun playing the panflute because it really shows in the craftsmanship of this flute.  It’s really beautiful!!!  The inlay is TOTALY SWEEEEEET!!!
 
The only down side right now is… I have to sit here and stare at it, and try and get some work done, until lunchtime so I can sneak out to my car and play around with it.  However, that won’t be a problem since it’s so beautiful to look at!!
 
I will stay in touch.
God bless, and Aloha.
David

Brad,                   

Thank you for the Grand Tenor, I have not stopped playing. I am quite amazed at the beauty and sound quality.

I have two other pan flutes both out of tune, and much smaller tubes. I have always have had a difficulty playing consistently producing sound.

I have watched all the teaching video's on you tube.When I received the DVD I watched it. When you said to blow as if spitting a pumpkin seed, I tried it, it works all my notes are now crystal clear.

I currently minister on a worship team at www.voiceofthetrumpet.org, in Damascus, I am a singer and the drummer and (pan-flute,double ocarina,tin flute,double Indian flute.

Thank you again

In Christ's love

Everyone in the house says it is time to go to bed,I said I'm just getting started I've only been playing for 10 hours. I've got this week off and will be playing till my heart is content.

Thanks

12-28-09 Sackets Harbor, New York

Brad,
Now that the hustle and bustle of Christmas has settled some, I want to take a moment to thank you for your generosity and kindness.  The pan flute I ordered from you came in plenty of time for Christmas, thanks to your willingness to ship it out express, even though I was having such trouble with my card that evening!  My Paypal payment went through first thing the very next morning, but you had no way of knowing for certain that it would and still you shipped my gift anyway.  In doing so, you made my twelve year old son a very happy boy, and you further instilled the spirit of Christmas in my whole family!  People like you are rare gems in this world, and I am blessed to have been touched by your spirit.  Thank you again for taking such great care of me.  Your kindness will never be forgotten; it shall be added to my list of greatest Christmas stories.

Sincerely,
Alicia

Hello Brad,
I bought your 15-pipe pan flute 8 months ago. My family just got me your special 22 Grand Tenor pan flute that was sent to my son Jordan, for me at Chrstmas. What a surprise! I still can't believe I got it, Thank- You Brad. I'm always on your site to learn something new.

Merry Chirstmas and Happy New Year!

12-27-09 Fayetteville, Georgia

Dear Brad & Melinda,
 
What a lovely way to send a gift.  Thank you so much for the personalized way you sent the pan flute to my Granddaughter.  I was in Fayetteville for Christmas and was wrapping all the gifts that I had sent there when I picked up the box from you.  The note you wrote on the outside of the flute box was very nice.  My Granddaughter kept it because it came 'all the way from Hawaii' .  And you had said 'Aloha' on there.
 
Thanks for your kindness and professional way of doing your business.
 
All the best in 2010,
Anne

12-26-09 Tooele, Utah

Thanks Brad,

My wife was just looking for a stand for my diderjido as a Christmas present, when she happened to find your website. She had an inspiration of purchasing your flutes, and she had the opportunity of talking with you. I'd like to give you a history of who I am. I am a native american flutist and play many different indigenous instruments. I love to listen to the pan flutes and now that I have one of yours, I have found how fun and exciting it is to learn how to play. Here it is one day after Christmas and we are playing, "Greensleeves and Amazing Grace." I though I would let you know that I never say no to anything because it may come back and bite you on the *!*. Some day we may meet, thanks again and may your heart soar like an eagle.

Happy Holidays

       Just writing to say thanks for the "Fun Pipes" they sound
great. After I feel efficient with my flute I may want to purchase
another from you in the near future. I am able to produce great sound
with mine, but I never learned to read music so learning songs may be
difficult. As of now I am improvising and playing by ear, which is
working very well. Again thanks for awesome instrument,

12-24-09 Petoskey, Michigan

Hello Brad and Melinda :)
I received my pan-flute the day before yesterday! Yea! Thank you tremendously for the speedy service!
I've managed to get pretty strong solid tones out of all but the shortest/highest 5-6 tubes, which I'm really happy about. I know I'll get all of them in due time.
 
The sound from this thing is *gorgeous*! 
 
I've even found it convenient to be able to practice *quietly* (just moving from tone/tube to tone/tube accurately), simply by blowing softly instead of full force.
 
Thank you!
Merry Christmas!

Hi Brad and Melinda,
 
 Just wanted to let you know that I picked up my five CD's yesterday and have already listened to them all and I'm starting through them a second time.   They are beautiful and so soothing to listen to.    My husband who is more inclined to bluegrass and country western really enjoyed them and can't wait until I can learn to play my pan-flute that good.   Well, I'm not so sure about that, but I am hoping to play well enough to impress him, and me too!
 
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Hi, Brad & Melinda,
 
I am impressed that the pan flute arrived safely and smoothly within a week's time. 
 
It was really an exciting moment when I received it from the delivery man. I managed to pick up some tips from the DVD and started playing with it. The sound of the flute is fantastic. It is soulful and soothing. It is really the best gift for the Christmas. 
 
Meantime, Aloha and wishing you all a Merry Christmas.

12-17-09 Tyne and Wear, United Kingdom

Hi Brad

Panflute arrived last week but I've so busy I haven't had much of a chance to have a go but my initial impression is it is going to be fun!

I got a good sound straight away (maybe because of my flute ability) and managed to play easy tunes. It is a beautiful instrument and I'm looking forward to doing it some justice in the New Year. I especially enjoy playing 'The Lonely Shepherd' and in a large room it sounds very convincing. I'm going to make myself a backing track when I have time.

Haven't tried it with a mic and effect yet but looking forward to doing so.

Have a fantastic Christmas - hope it snows!

Thanks again

Graham

I'm a professional wind player - mostly sax and clarinet but I do play flute to a reasonable level.

Hej Melinda,
 
The flute arrived in the morning of December 2.
As I opened the box I really looked forward to see and test the flute...
But you had done such a fantastic job wrapping the parcels, that I could not bring myself to open them!
So now I have to wait for Christmas eve, when my daughter will open them. And by the way, my daughter loves the type of candy bar you stuck on the outside.
 
This Sunday we dressed our Christmas tree and my daughter said that the thing she wished for the most this year was a pan flute. She wanted it even more badly than new games for the Nintendo...
So, once again thank you for your excellent service and I'll send you a picture of a very happy 7-year-old girl :-)
 
Regards,
/Stefan Jelvin

Hi Melinda,

Your box arrived yesterday, but I didn't get a chance to open it today.  I was trying to think how I could make a Hawaiian type Christmas card to go with the flute while I was cutting open the USPS box.  WOW!  What a surprise!  I never expected that it would be wrapped ... AND,.. a Hawaiian Christmas card too!!  

Well, as much as I'd like to open it and see the flute, I'm not going to disturb your great Christmas wrapping!  

I'll be looking forward to seeing Bob open it on Christmas!

Thanks so very very much!
Happy Holidays!

Hi Brad and Melinda
 
The pan flute arrived to-day, thank you. I have already managed to get a reasonable sound out of it. Brad's DVD is very helpful. The problem is my breathing at the moment, I cannot hold a note very long but no doubt that will improve.
 
Kind regards,

Dear Mr. and Mrs. White,
 
Thank you very much for your friendly emails. Nice to meet both of you.
 
What a wonderful surprise to receive your package from Hawaii from the postman today! The delivery was really fast.
Unfortunately, I have not had enough time to do more than to open your package and to look at all the great things in there very quickly... but as soon as I have finished sending you this mail, I will have a closer look at everything and try to work through at least the first step of Lesson 1 of the course. I feel extremely curious and really happy right now.
 
Thank you so much for your nice hand-written note on the box containing the pan flute, Mr. White. What a nice surprise!
 
When I saw my new pan flute for the very first time I could hardly believe my eyes... first of all because I have never ever seen a pan flute except on television or on the Internet and because it is much bigger than I had expected. What a wonderful instrument! It looks great and it feels interesting to touch the wood.
 
You see, I love the sound of pan flutes so much. All these melodies are so touchy. I have been playing keyboards for a couple of years now and I now have my second instrument, which has a pan flute sound I use very often. How much I hope I will be able to play "El Condor Pasa" on my real pan flute one day!
 
Thank you so much for giving me permission to contact you if I have questions! I will do my very best to not disturb you very often. And I will keep you posted on my progress (hoping there will be something like that).
 
Have a nice weekend. May God bless you.
 
Greetings from Germany,
 
Gabriele

Thanks again brad, and all the best to you and your family.  Heath.

11-23-09 [Before]

Hi brad. I recently bought a set of panpipes off ebay for $15 and I cannot make a good sound come from them. Is it because they are cheap and nasty, I would gladly invest in your fun pipes if they will make a great differents.
Many Thanks.  Heath.

My name is Chris Hulbert; I am 15 years old. I bought one of your pan-flutes (a wonderfull instrument) about a year ago, but never really got time to use it. Now that I am enjoying the Christmas holidays, I can practise every day! I am having so much fun with it, sometimes I stay up quite late at night with it, just playing around. Even though I am not very good at the moment, I hope one day I will be able to play songs that are easy on the ear! I would like to say, thank you for introducing me to this incredible experience and I hope to be able to play as well as you someday.

Sincerly,

Hi Brad and Melinda,

I just wanted to let you know that my flute arrived today.  I am very excited.  It is beautifully made.  I couldn't wait to get home to open it.  I was able to get sound immediately.  Amazing grace/my chains unbound plays great.  I look forward to watching the dvd lessons as well.  i am also looking forward to ordering a grand tenor very soon.  I was tickled that the flute arrived so quickly considering it was a holiday week.  Ordered Tuesday 11/24/09 and received it Saturday 11/28/09.  I bet it would have been here on the 27th had it not been for Thanksgiving.  I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving day.  Will be keeping in touch with you

May Adonai richly bless you

I was away from home for a few days due to work obligations. Just arrived
back home today and found the pan flute had arrived safely! It's really
beautifully constructed and plays easily. I managed to play C1-C2 straight
off. It has a beautiful tone. I'm guessing it takes time to develop the
embouchure to play the higher notes. I showed my mum and we watched your dvd
together and she was there following along and getting a few notes out of
the pan flute as well. It was a lot of fun :)

Thank you again for answering all my questions. It usually takes me some
time before I purchase anything as I am a hesitant buyer. Actually, I have
been trying to find a pan flute for years, but they are so difficult to come by here in Australia.

Thank you again for the pan flute Brad. I'm so excited to play it again right now!

Cheers,
Heinz

Hi Melinda... James flute has arrived safe and sound!! Thank you, he is driving
us crazy now- every spare minute he plays along to all his fav cds that he
couldn't before, due to the small and restrictive size of his old pan flute!!

Thanks again for such prompt and friendly service. - Alison

Thank you for the great instrument! I am learning a bit each day. The sound is great!

I am working on a album and will be using the pan flute in it. As I get better I hope to be able to use it to dominate the tracks.

I did a song I used your panflute in, just a couple parts and some backgrounds, not as much as i would have liked to put in... its on YOU TUBE the songs called Alone at sea by David Lundin

I would love to colab on a song with you, maybe you could bless one of my songs sometime!! Love your sound!!

Thanks again for the Quality, and great customer service

Thanks, David

Melinda & Brad,
 
My Panflute arrived day before yesterday.  I've spent considerable time with it already and have been able to create some consistent and continuous sounds, which I didn't think I'd master so quickly.  Can't wait to get back to my learning.   The dvd is quite helpful.
 
That's my progress to date.  Look forward to getting back to practice.

Hi Brad,

Thank goodness for Youtube. Without it I may never have discovered you. It's so nice to be able to see and hear you play different songs. It does a lot to inspire, and to bring the instrument with all its possibilities alive. You seem to be a dedicated musician and a compassionate human being. Please continue to use your gift of music to bring comfort to people.
 
It's been a pleasure to do business with my new friend from Hawaii.
 
Aloha!

Dear Mr. White,

I just wanted to let you know I received the flute yesterday. I immediately played the instructional dvd that came with the book and watched the beginning of it, stopping at the intervals section. After two hours with the flute, I could play all of the studies and most of the songs up to page 37. Thank you so much for recommending this set for beginners. My husband has also taken an interest! I've been practicing and after a few hours today, it sounds much better than when I first picked it up. Thank you again and we look forward to purchasing more flutes in the future! And thank you for sending me the link for "May it Be". After a bit more practice, I will hopefully be able to perform that song just as beautifully.

Sincerely,
Jenet Courtney

I just wanted to thank you for the beautiful music you've brought into my life.  Your DVD video lesson is great and I enjoyed our phone conversation.

It's hard for me to express the joy & feelings of peace I get from just playing, even at my very basic level, & hearing these beautiful instruments.  Now I need to practice and that in itself is a joy.

Thanks,

Bill

Thank you very much. I wish all business worked as you folks do. Wonderful

Brad.. Well today started off bad. The weather was bad. I went and had a root canal done at the dentist office. But....when I got home, USPS had been here and my flute arrived. Boy am I impressed with the way you do business. I only had a short time to look it over and blow through it. The workmanship is great and I even got sound out of it. And I thought that only a big engine or my model A cars could get me excited. I will get after it later.
Thanks so much for the great service and turning my day around

Hello Brad and Melinda,
I just bought the 18 pipe tenor and on my 1st day I was able to hit all 18 notes, I LOVE IT!  I can stumble through The Heart Will Go On as well as Unchained Melody (I think that is the name).  I'll continue to work on my form but after just 2 days I think I'm off to a great start.
Can you suggest some books/videos that would explain the notes and reading sheet music?
I'm working a lot of hours right now but I will always look forward to getting back home so I can practice.
I'm so happy :o)  Thank you!
Best wishes my friends,
Trent Campbell.

Brad,
 
I just wanted you to know the pan flute arrived here safely today.  I just got home and opened it and read the instruction sheet and am watching the video basics as I write this.  VERY cool instrument I can't wait to get a handle on it.
 
Its nice that its in C major by default - and I was absolutely shocked reading in your instructions that I can learn to get semitones out of it!  Thus to play F major i just hit a Bb or G major hit an F# and I won't even have to retune!
 
Thanks!

Hi Brad,
I was actually using your DVD when your mail came in.  You are an awesome teacher!  I even managed to play The Old Rugged Cross, complete with a vague vibrato from my diaphragm.  The Good Lord blessed me with the ear to play what I remember so, once I get the hang of it I will play along with Classic FM on the radio.  
Thank you for such a wonderful instrument and your inspiration.

learn playing it. :) Thank you very much!

Hey Brad.

I absolutly love the pan flute and thank you so much for everything.  I have been playing honestly everyday for at least 45 minutes over the past month.  I am confused about one thing.  The diffrence between making sharps and flats.  I don't know if I'm missing something or not.  But everywhere I look it says about angling a pan flute about 30 degrees'  I do not understand how you can accomplish both a sharp and a flat in the same manner.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Once again thanks.

Nick

WOW!!  Thanks for the quick response.  That helps out so much.  Now it all makes sense.  Once again thank you for everything.  and once I have somewhat accomplished the 15 pipe pan flute I will be getting a 22 off of you. :)
thanks again

Hey Brad,
I received my instrument today, and it is simply amazing.  Thank you so much for the care you have put into it.  I still can't play more than three consecutive notes but I'm sure the included instructional DVD will help me out : )
Thanks again, I really appreciate it,

9-03-09 Maple Grove, Minnesota

Dear Brad
Greetings, I just wanted to send you this email to say... THANK YOU! I bought your starters package a year ago and I honestly cannot stop playing. As soon as I developed the lip muscles needed to blow straight down, I took off playing like no tomorrow.

I have always loved old woodwinds, and the pan pipe, I think, is one of the oldest and the most hauntingly beautiful. I am currently playing other woodwind instruments as well, but none of them have been able to compare. Now I have been writing my own songs and have been recording them with much pleasure. I just wanted to say thank you and that your panpipes are of the greatest quality I have ever known. In a way, you've helped me find a gift I didn't know I had.

Thank you from Minnesota.
Jesse Miller
P.S. I also bought your grand tenor a few months back.

    i have received the pan flute this morning. i have played the ordinary flute for a number of years now and i always wanted a set of pan flutes to try, so i nearly couldnt wait for the flute to arrive. having played the flute i was able to play the pan flute straight away, not very well but that will come with practise. but i must say i was astonished to hear the tones of the pan flute that lovely mellow sound took me by surprise.

i cant wait to show it to my friend who is also a flute player. let me congratulate you on your craftmanship it is truly a wonderful instrument and may i wish you every success for the future. thank you

Hi Brad and Melinda,
I received my Grand Tenor Panflute a half an hour ago.  I read your preliminary instructions and managed to sound the lower 2 1/2 octaves... not bad since I have never held one before.  Will dive into your instruction DVD right now and see how many cats in the neighborhood I can annoy..
Thanks again
Pat. Dolby... (very happy with the quality).

(Brad, I am 72 and retired. I have played piano, organ, hand bells and chromatic harmonica. I love to sing but have now lost close control over my vocal chords and can no longer do that even though I still have pretty fair breath control. I have never played or even held a pan flute but I absolutely love the sound and would like to master it.)

Hi Brad and Linda,
          I'm pleased to let you know that I got my Grand Tenor today. Strange enough the Post Office took a week to notify me, so it in fact reached here around the 8th to 10th of August. It is very nice though, bigger than I expected. I will have to practice to breathe from my diaphragm more to not get light-headed. I play the silver flute on and off so I will get it eventually. Thanks for the DVD and the instructional reading.

Hello Melinda,
 
   My name is Travis Bradach, and I recently purchased a pan flute from you.  I wanted to firstly let you know that it arrived yesterday, August 11 (Australia time)....the shipping was VERY fast! Also, I cannot thank you and Brad enough for your wonderful products and fantastic service.  It is sad to see how rare it is these days that people take pride in their work, but I can see that you both do.  The pan flute was absolutely beautiful and well-made; there is no question it wasn't just a cheap product.  The music on the CD's are truly amazing to listen to and the covers for them are beautiful.  I also appreciate the instructions, DVD, and book.......I will CERTAINLY need them!!!!! 
 
    Needless to say, I am VERY happy about the service and quality of products that you and Brad are giving people.  That makes me so happy to see such great souls like you doing that.  It will be challenging for me to learn to play the pan flute, but I look forward to practicing.....and in the meantime I will just enjoy listening to Brad play (he is wonderful!).  I will definitely recommend you and Brad to others. 
 
Thank you again so much.  Take care.

7-31-09 Nova Scotia, Canada

Mr. & Mrs. White,

    I am very proud to say that I have just received my flute in the mail today, July 31st. Everything is fantastic! The  Flute looks and sounds beautiful, and the book and DVD have already become useful, for this flute is a bit harder to play than I imagined it would be!

    Regardless, I want to thank you guys for the outstanding quality of service you provide. Never in my life have I had such confidence while purchasing an instrument, and I've bought quite a few from different manufacturers.

Your website has much useful information and cool perks, such as the sheet music and the audio/video samples of each flute being played, that it's obvious you know what you're talking about. That type of thing really makes a person comfortable with making the investment. The constant updates on the shipping of the flute was awesome as well. I feel like I've gotten my moneys worth already, just from the service.

You guys are wicked, and I will be sure to promote your business as much as I possibly can!

In Gratitude,
Joe O'Connor

Hello Brad and Melinda,
 
Have just received my Grand Tenor Panflute at 11.40am on Wednesday 29th July 2009.
 
It was beautifully parcelled and protected and when I unwrapped it - WOW!! This has to be the Stradivarius of  all Panflutes. What workmanship!!!!
 
I couldn't resist it and had a quick try with it and although I have'nt quite got the embrochure for it, it was surprisingly easy to get a tune out of the lower and middle C scales.  The top one is going to take a little more puff.!
 
Thank you very much for your excellant customer service and I will keep in touch and let you know how I get on.
 
Kindest regards,

Get my Fun Pipes yesterday, man oh man, they truely are FUN. I'm realy enjoying them, and the instructional DVD is great. I'm catching on easier than the Native American flute (don't have to worry about proper finger placement). This is an instrument that I'll be enjoying for many, many years. Hope to graduate to one of the "larger" pan flutes soon. Thank you so much for every thing. May God continue to bless you and every one at the Pan flute Shop. Aloha

7-22-09 Galt California

Aloha to you, Melinda and Brad!
 
I have been sooo excited to get this! I have not slept since the day that I ordered it from your site! I picked up my pan flute this morning at the post office just before I met with some of my concert flute students. They ALL absolutely loved the sound of it and the look of it. I am extremely pleased! Thank you for doing such fine work!

I have played the concert flute for 26 years ( I am 35) and have often wanted to try a pan flute. I enjoy learning and getting others excited about learning new instruments. I have played the piccolo since junior high and high school, as well as, the tenor saxophone and a year of clarinet (which I did not care for). I am a flute, piano, and vocal private teacher here in Galt. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MUSIC AND CHILDREN!

My husband, Derek, and I have five beautiful girls ranging in age from 16 to 4 years. We are a home school family and because of this are able to really focus on teaching our children according to their passions and abilities. Drama and music are a big part of our daily routine…with girls, drama is often a natural phenomenon!

I will most definitely be introducing the pan flute at my next recital this coming Saturday and will look forward to the enjoyment it will bring, not only to me, but to those who desire to learn with me. I will ALWAYS recommend your site for the purchase of a pan flute for anyone interested in pursuing it!
 
Thank you, again, and I will give you an occasional update or maybe even send a question to you if that is alright???
 
May you have a wonderful day and God bless!

I wanted to let you know that I received my Pentatonic Pan flute. It has a great sound. 

I am going to have to practice at it though!!!

Once I get good at this one I may order one of your other flutes.

I play in a group of dulcimer/autoharp/guitar players.  Was looking for something different to add to the group.

Thanks, - Chris

7-15-2009 Greenwich, Connecticut

I received the 15-pipe flute. It is great. Fine work on this flute.

I had looked around for a pan flute but found either the cost was a lot for a good one or the lower priced ones were not worth buying. This is a fine made flute at a good price and easy to play. If anyone is looking to buy a flute to start off with, or if you already play, buy this one. You will be happy with it.

I also plan to buy the pocket flute so I can always have one with me. Fast shipping, good packing.

Thank You Brad

Brad,

I just received the pan flute and I cannot express how pleased I am with it. As I mentioned to you, the flute is for my daughter. She will be seven on July 26 and from a young age has exhibited an inclination towards music. She has already learned the basics of the guitar and can play simple tunes on a recorder. She is a big fan of Peter Pan and while I ordered the flute last week, this past weekend, while watching the Disney Peter Pan video, told my wife she wanted to learn to play the pan-flute. Neither my wife, nor my daughter, know I have ordered and received it.

I am so enthusiastic about watching her learn how to play. I myself play the cello and am looking forward to teaching her to read the music you have sent. This past Saturday I went to your site and let her listen to some of your music. As I'm sure you know, most children her age cannot sit for extended periods of time, however, she asked to hear several of the pieces on your site. I am sure this is something she will cherish and frankly, I hope that she embraces as she has shown she may. Thank you for all your help and for the wonderful instrument.

G'day Brad,
 I have just received my Grand Tenor flute. That must be some kind of a record [4 days]. I have unwrapped it and checked it out. Its a work of art I am totally in love with it.
I stopped writing to you because the CD had loaded. I listened to the first track of the CD Winters Journey . OMG Brad....... I started to play along with Ave Maria I could not continue as I was crying, with such joy in my heart likewise the Canon in D. 
Thankyou SOOO much for sharing your God given gift and talent of this beautiful music with me I will treasure forever my flute and your beautiful music.

Am only up to track 7  Deck the Halls what a beautiful CD I just LOVE it. I am playing along with these songs --- in a fashion -- But I KNOW I will get good at this and I can't wait.

Brad you haven't heard the last of me I'm not about to disappear forever with my (our) flute, I could understand if you still called it your flute.

Please thank your wife for her excellent action in getting it down here so fast. Im going to have a magical weekend and I wish the same for you both.

God Bless and Thank you so much.

Kindest regards and Love 
Robbie

Hi Melinda,
 
I ordered these for my daughter, Eloise (14). She plays plays piano and tympany drums and about a month ago decided she really must learn how to play the pan pipes.  She went online and searched for the ones she wanted and borrowed my credit card to buy them.  She had to pay for them though. 

She is absolutely thrilled with them.  The book and cd are great.  She is playing some tunes already.  The pipes arrived here on Monday July 6th.  She downloaded some panpipe music so she could get a feel for the whole thing.
 
Kind regards,

Ciao Brad & Melinda,

You must have received an email from my son Gabriele saying the panflute arrived safe and sound in record time (Thursday 2nd). We were thrilled and amazed because the instrument is really beautiful and also because the parcel magically found its way from exotic Honolulu to our house amid the woods, where even locals get easily lost.....
Thank you and good luck for your business,
Elena

Good day,
Dear Brad,
Thank you for your answer.

Maybe you remember me - I ordered all of your CDs from you about 5 years ago. I love your CDs. It is beautiful relaxing music.

I have played the Pan flute now for about 7 years, so I think I am not a beginner, but I am also not a professional player. I will never play so beautiful like you.

Thanks to you - I discovered irish whistles on your web page. Thank you very much.
I have several synthetic ( plastic ) Pan flutes and about 6 different sizes of bamboo Pan flutes from a Czech company.

Now I have beautiful a 22-pipe Grand Tenor Pan flute from you and I can say
"It is the best Pan flute I ever played". I am really very satisfied.

Thanks for all.

Best Regards Pavel Biskup, Czech Republic, Europe.

Aloha Brad, Aloha Melinda,
My heart is pounding like crazy - a couple minutes ago the panflute arrived. I have unpacked and the first notes are played.

I think, I have found finally the instrument that I should have played my whole live.  I will have lots of work ahead of me and I am looking forward to it. Do you have any good breathing exercise that you recommend?

The flute sounds beautiful and I love the clean look of it. Now I am just praying that I will make music that will be a sweet fragrance to God.

Blessings to you and your business,
Birgit Schult

Hi Birgit, In my DVD video (included) I demonstrate how to breath properly and some excercises to help with your playing, happy fluting :) ... brad

G’day Brad and Melinda,

My apologies for being a little slow in replying.  I received both the grand tenor and 15 pipe package a week and a half ago.  Amazingly they only took 6 days from the day that I paid for them till they arrived here on the other side of the world.  That’s service.  Incidentally, I have also now received your package of 5 compact disc albums which took seven or eight days to get here. My thanks to both of you for your great products and your fantastic service.

Your albums are quite inspiring and I hope you continue to produce more along these lines.  As for your panflutes, I feel privileged to own two of them and am incredibly grateful to you for producing such quality instruments at very reasonably prices.  By the way, I have found the book “You Can Teach Yourself Panflute” and the accompanying DVD very good as I am only just learning to play.  The 15 pipe package is excellent value for money – I don’t even mind leaving it where the kids can pick it up at their whim and practice blowing.

All in all a great product at a great price and dispatched with such great service.  Thanks heaps for introducing me to this fantastic instrument – I love it.  Take care and keep up the great work.

Kind Regards, Andrew.

Hi Brad,
 
I’m really enjoying my grand tenor pan flute, and will be playing a wedding with a string quartet this weekend- a wonderful combination!
 
I’m wondering if you know of any case or protective bag that would fit the instrument? I’d appreciate any advice you have.
 
Many thanks,

Just keeping in touch.

Hello !
About 6 months ago I bought 2 panflutes from you. I just wanted to let you know I really like and enjoy the instruments. They trully have a unique sound, compared to the other ones I have and had over the years.

I do have some posted on you tube, if you get a chance to check them out, I'm always open for any sugestions you may have, as a professional panflutist. It's really hard, the band I've been with, we all had fallen out about 1 year ago, and 6 months ago I decided to just perform by myself, it's really hard to do but with GOD's help I do what I can.

All my videos, are recorded live. Keep in mind I am not a professional panflutist.

Maybe one day I will play like one.
I know ... Practice ... Practice ... Practice ...
Practice makes perfect !

Thank you for everything.

Brad,

The 18-pipe tenor and book arrived today, more or less as you predicted. Actually ahead of what I anticipated. Straight out of the box, I produced sensible tones from even the top octave, (though not, I suppose yet from the highest pipes), and quite close to what I should expect from the lower pipes. I'm in a state of bliss and anticipation. I cannot wait to get home and spend serious time with the pan flute, working from the book and my growing stock of Zampona pieces. 

Many thanks!

Charlie Carter

Melinda and Brad,

At home tonight, I was amazed at what I could do. I've no problems at all with the G-scale notes - all 18 of them. However, I haven't quite gotten any sharps or flats yet. I'm only on lesson 2 of the book, but I feel empowered! I'll have a look at the DVD.

Thanks again for the thrill,

Charlie

Barbados 6-3-09

Hello Melinda & Brad:  It was great excitement in our home today - the Pan-flutes arrived!  Sharon collected them from the post office and some rather unusual notes have been floating around throughout the day!  The Pan-flutes are beautiful, but will take time for the younger boys (and me!) to get the musical sounds going!.  Joseph, the 9 year old , seems to be making the most pleasant noises so far and is making some progress!  Thanks for the great service.  We will be in touch with questions I am sure.  Jill

Yea!  The box arrived today!  It's in perfect condition and so far no customs!  I'm eager to open it and see the wrapped package - though I won't get to see the flute until Garrett gets here in mid- June.

Thank you so much - for your care in packaging, filling in the form and sending.

Best regards to you both,
Anne

Hi Melinda and Brad,
Just to let you know I've all ready received my pan flute. Just gorgeous. What a beautiful instrument. I'll be playing it all night tonight. And yes, Brad, the tone and ease of playing are so much better than the plastic. Of course, I haven't a clue how to hit those high notes. The diameter of those tubes are much smaller than the pvc pipe used in my "street" version. I sure love the tone!

Also, just started listening to your cd--wonderful music and recording. I can't wait to incorporate my harp playing along with the flute with my own compositions.

My thanks to you both, and admiration for your music and instrument building as well, Brad.
Take care,
Schim Schimmel

Hi Brad,
 
I bought a 18-Tenor pan flute from you about two months ago and I’d just like to say thank you very much for such a beautiful instrument.
I have taken it into the bush near-by when I go camping, and played tunes that I never knew I could. I know of nothing more enjoyable then sitting around a camp fire with some friends and family as they listen to the hypnotising melody created by this instrument.
 
I was never very musically minded but this instrument now means a lot to me. It has shown me something new in life that I would recommend to anyone!
 
Thanks again...

Dear Brad and Melinda,

I received the Pan Flute today and its a beauty.
You were so right when you told me that there is no comparison between this
flute and the $30 plastic one that I had before (long gone).
I am a real beginner and I have some troubles in getting a sound out of the
shortest pipes, but I am confident that with the help of your DVD I will
soon improve my skills.
A question about maintenance: Do I have to oil the pan flute once in a while ? Please advise.
And...thank you again for this wonderful instrument.
I will keep you posted with my progress.

Best regards,

Gerardo Pavone

Hello Gerardo, You will never need to oil one of our panflutes, they have already been specially treated in oils and waxes.... so just enjoy! Aloha - Brad

4-24-09 Indiana, USA

A while ago I ordered your Grand Tenor panflute.  I have been so very happy with it, and I am finally starting to get good enough to play in front of others.  I am so tempted always to take it outside hiking and such...which I really am hesitant to do with the grand tenor because of its size. So I'd like to order one of your pocket panpipes to take with me outside.  

Thanks!

WOW! YES; Now I understand and yes, you are absolutely right!!!
Now I just have to tell that to my brain and see if it listens to me. :-)
I will try that when I go home this weekend.

But you know what?
This proves to me that, when you say on your website that you will write
back to help your customers, you are not just saying that to get people to
buy from you.
You REALLY DO and very quickly indeed.

THANK YOU Brad,

A VERY HAPPY customer from New Jersey, USA.

Hi Melinda,
 
3 days and it is here! From our most western state of Hawaii to the most southeastern part of Florida! Incredible! I live in SW Miami-Dade County surrounded by dirt roads and tomato fields. Our faithful postal service delivery vehicle kicked up lots of dirt and drove to our front gate with the package. Our herding dogs and sheep are in for a treat when I call them with the Panflute later.
 
You have great packaging so it arrived just fine. Now I need to be patient, one note at a time!

Hello to all. My name is Daniel. I recently [March 6,] got a tenor pan flute from Brad and have been practicing and enjoying this wonderful instrument. At first I was getting dizzy and hyperventilating traying to play it. Then things got better but still felt that it took so much air. At one point I got a bit discouraged but kept trying. You pros make it look soo very easy and effortless, lol. Then one day I kind of had an eureka moment. Something fell into place. I realized it was finesse and my lips, embouchure seemed also to be getting stronger. "Oh happy day" Lol.
So, got to keep on practicing. I posted a short youtube clip practicing "The Old Rugged Cross". Sometime in the future I would like to play at church. As I don't have a teacher, feedback on how to improve is much apreciated.

Watch my YouTube Video

Aloha,
Daniel

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

Aloha to you Daniel!  You are doing so well, congratulations!  You  
have developed a nice, pleasing tone and a good performance of the  
song.  You could play that at church right now and I think everyone  
would love it :)

I noticed you were a little under pitch at the start, but you once you  
warmed up it got much better.   Some things to work on as you progress  
are adding some dynamics and swells.. also learn to incorporate a nice  
vibrato.  These things will help put a nice touch on the pieces.   Try  
singing the piece and then play it.. let your voice be your guide.

The more you play... whatever songs that might be,  you are going to  
just keep getting stronger.

Keep having fun,  and it will never seem like work.

Aloha .. Brad

Thank you - the flute arrived today in perfect condition.  It is beautiful!  I didn't have much luck getting sound out of it at first, then I put it down for awhile and came back at it again - and was able to actually start making some reasonable sounds with it!
 
I am looking forward to practicing on it and to actually play a first song or two.
 
I will highly recommend you to anyone who may be interested.

Hi Mr. White!  Just wanted to say thank you SO much for sending me the 18-Pipe Tenor.  It came promptly and I was very impressed with how well you packaged everything.  I LOVE IT!!!  The sound is both magical and beautiful -- JUST what I was hoping for!  You did NOT let me down! 
 
I have been fortunate so far in making the sounds come out pretty easily.  I can do both methods of vibrato, as well as making sharps/flats with both methods.  Now, I just need to improve my breathing so I don't feel like I'm going to faint everytime I play!

Thanks again.  Hope your having a great weekend!

Hi Brad,

Just to let you know that the pan flute [Grand Tenor] arrived safely and that I now have it here. The project I'm using it for starts in two weeks and right now I'm wall-to-wall with another project so I haven't had the chance to play it properly yet or watch your DVD, but the instrument looks beautiful and I'm looking forward to getting familiar with it. I'll call or email you if I have any questions.

Many thanks,- Robert

Dear Brad and Melinda,

Thanks so much for your awesome service. I can tell that your are in this for the love of the instrument and not just the money and that you like to treat your customers as individuals rather than a number on the system.

I could not believe it when I send a question and got an E-mail in 5 minutes with the answer. Thanks for keeping me updated throughout the ordering process. I will let you know when it arrives. Looking forward to learning this wonderful instrument.
God Bless,
Daniel

Hi Brad and Melinda,
 
Just to let you know that the panflutes, book and CD arrived on Thursday [5 days] - faster than I can get mail from eastern Australia!   Have had fun trying them out; being a flute player resulted in instant results that were relatively pleasing to the ear!  Will get down to serious learning in the next few weeks. 
 
Many thanks for your assistance and very prompt service.
Cheers
Rosemary

Hi Brad and Melinda.

Just a short note of thanks and to let you know that my "starter's package" arrived in today's mail.

It only took five days from ordering it to receiving it here in Victoria Australia.

I am most excited and grateful for your great service and I am looking forward to getting some time alone to try to get familiar with the new pan flute.
Kindest regards to you both

Hi Melinda,

Just to let you know that the beautiful Fun Pipes arrived on Wednesday - so fast and easy.  I thank you so much and wish you continued happiness and success.

I found your video on you tube and didn't even finish watching it before I went straight to your site and bought your fun pipes. I'm really excited about them, they sound and look wonderful.

With many good wishes,

Oh Brad and Melinda!  I’m so thrilled to FINALLY have a pan flute!!  It’s beautiful!!  Can hardly wait to watch your lessons on the DVD.  I did watch two on YouTube, but not having the instrument in my hands made it less understandable!  I will keep you posted re: progress made…I was quite excited when I first put it to my lips, but then, I was finally able to get air moving smoothly across all ten pipes to hear their sound. 

You certainly want your customers to lack for nothing, especially by making yourself so readily available!  If I have friends interested in pursuing playing a pan flute, I will certainly be telling of my own experience with you and your wife...and your company.  

May the Lord continue to bless the work of your hands, 
Thank you again!  And Aloha!

Hi Alex, the band is made in full from a dark Brazillian Ipe wood.  Very strong and helps with the over all structural strength of the instrument ... brad

Hello,
I dont know if you remember me but my name is Vital Mezery and three or four month ago I bought from you a Grand tenor pan flute. I am from Spain.

Well, since then I do play the pan flute much better then I did with my Andean flute.
Sounds much better and wonderful when recording.
When I wrote you then I said that I produce my own music and I was working on the first album of my musical project called "make me see". Well, yesterday it was presented on the online market at Cdbaby. com

Unfortunately  there are no pan flute recordings on it because when I was recording i didnt have my pan flute yet. But on the second and third album there are!! :)

I really enjoy playing the pan flute, thank you.

Vital Mezery.

1-30-09 Texas USA

Hi Brad and Melinda,
 
Thank you I received my panflute yesterday, in great condition.  It is so beautifully made and I HAVE to try it everytime I walk past it.

Must thank you Brad for your DVD.  First I thought there was something wrong with the panflute's high notes.  Then later in the afternoon I got very dizzy (and worried).
I sat down and watched your DVD only to find out it was normal.

Like I said I think this is going to be much harder than anticipated but once I hit a good note it sounds great! It looks like fun and I will give myself some time. You make it look so easy.  
Thanks again 
Dalena

Thanks again

Hi Melinda & Brad
My panflute arrived today.  Actually I was not home for a few minutes on Friday and of course, that was when the panflute arrived.  The postlady left a note on my door but I had to wait for Monday to pick it up.   I am enjoying watching the DVD and learning the techniques so my smiley is a little sore now.  I feel like I am growing dimples :)   I am very happy with the quality of my instrument and look forward to the time when playing comes easily as I know it eventually will.    (Learning the harp gave me sore fingers for awhile).   Thanks again for the prompt shipping and I will be visiting your website often.

Hi, Mr.White
 
I received my 18 pipes panflute on january 23, and it sounds great !
Wow! Hawaï to Repentigny in 6 days.

Thanks to you and Melinda for the high quality panflute and also for the service.
It's always a pleasure to make buisness with passionate people. And we can see that in your work. I already played piano and trumpet and after 1 day I can play a whole scale with clear note. But they're a long way to get expressive play like yours. 

Send you soon a post on my progress.

Hi Brad,
 
The [starting] package arrived yesterday. It included all that you promised and was packed really good.

Immediately I started working with the book and the guidelines you sent me and I am proud to tell I managed to play the 1st song in the book after 1 hour of practice :)
 
As my wife plays the drums we tried playing it together and were really happy when it came nice together :)
 
Thank you for all your fast replies during my explorations on the pan flute!
I will keep in touch (and with questions :)  ).
 
Thank you!

1-22-09 Sweden

Hello Brad,
this afternoon, 22 January, I got my Tenor pan-flute. I have liked pan-flutemusic since I first heard Gheorghe Zamfir play in the 1970´s but never thought of playing myself as I heard it should be so difficult... So here I am thinking of playing the pan-flute at age 50 (soon) puuhh.... Wish me luck (will probably be a lot of questions in the future)
 
Yours, Anita, Sweden

1-18-09 California USA

A very good day to you Brad!!

I ordered your 18 pipe tenor, it was a Wednesday and I received it here in California on Friday. Fast delivery for sure, I am so glad I ordered this instrument from you. The pipe arrived in perfect condition and sounds great,  looks very nice and is well made. In the few days of practicing I have noticed great improvement and sincerely enjoy playing this instrument.

For those who may read this letter, I would like to say that Brad is not only a good business man but a good person as well. It is a rare quality now days when dealing with someone over the Internet. He will talk to you until you have ran out of questions and treats you just the same even after you have purchased the instrument.

Brad, I wish you and your wife the best that  life may have to offer. Its great buying something from someone that deserves my business, feeling that you got your moneys worth and actually enjoying what you bought. I will keep in touch with you once in a while and hopefully get some tips from you. Thanks again for the wonderful service and product you have provided.

Best wishes,
Hyro

Dear Melinda,

I have received my pan flute today.  It reached my post office last 14 Jan
2009, 7 days after it was mailed.  As a beginner, I was so excited when I
personally took the mail from the post office and tried to play my first
tone from the pan flute in my journey back to my house. After watching
Brad's DVD, I began to understand the pan flute better. I believe with the
DVDs and books, I will be getting along with the pan flute just fine.  There
was no additional cost for in getting your mail from the post office.

Thank you for your anticipation and making my dream comes true. At last, I
have owned myself a pan flute.

Send my regards to Brad.

Warm and Best regards. - Abdul

1-12-09 Pennsylvania USA

Aloha Brad ! I just got the Panflute from you. Thanks a lot!

It is a little easier to make half steps [sharps & flats] on yours, maybe because you sand off the edges, I did not on my previous panflute.

The Pan flute is looking great  and sound is very nice and easy to re-tune.

Thanks. God bless you. Alex

1-6-09 Birkeland Norway

Hi Brad,

I am very pleased to inform you that I received the Grand Tenor flute today.
It took exactly 14 days, and that over the Holidays, to get it here, not
bad.

The flute survived the travel very well and it is a beautiful instrument,
thank you.
The first scales have already been played on it...perhaps not cleanly, but
at least there were some tones!

I look forward to start familiarizing myself with the different practicing
techniques to get a comfortable way to play this wonderful instrument. I
will likely concentrate on the middle scale at first since it seems easier
to progress with clean tones and establish good breathing and blowing
techniques in that scale.

The book looks like a very informative and complete intro to playing the
pan-flute, and the included CD is a big plus.

I am sure I will have questions on specific issues as I discover areas where
I need some assistance.

Best regards,

Helge Larsen

Hi Melinda,
 
The pan flute [Grand Tenor] arrived today (Monday)- wow, that was fast shipping!  I didn't expect to see it until later in the week.  Impatient person that I am, I took it straight out of the box to play before looking at anything else, and was pleased at how responsive it is, even though this is my first wind instrument.  It looks and feels very well made, and could make resonant, accurate pitches without much fussing on my part (yes, I had my Korg tuner on the table as I played, so I could see the notes!).  After watching the DVD with me, my 6-year-old daughter wanted to try, and she, too, could make several well-pitched tones right off the bat.  I think we're going to have a lot of fun with this (though the chromatics look tricky)- I'll keep you posted on my progress and let you know if I have any problems.
 

I have been browsing your website for a few weeks after stumbling across one of your You Tube videos.  While I have long admired the beautiful sound of the pan pipes, you’ve really caught my interest and imagination to try playing myself.  This past year I took up a different “dream” instrument- the Celtic harp- through a local folk/ roots music school, and encouraged by some success there, am eager to try another.  I have some musical background: I am a lifelong classical music chorister currently singing with a symphony chorus and play piano OK (I’m no virtuoso), so I can read music as well as play by ear, and love creating music as much as I love listening to it.  I also love the idea of giving my children (ages 3 and 6) an appreciation of hands-on, live, acoustic music, especially at home.

Thank you and Aloha,
Jayne Conrad

Hi,

Found your website yesterday.  I have always been facinated with the sound of the pan flutes.   I am a musician and want to learn.  So I purchased your Fun Pipes today.  Your introduction and playing them for a beginner was just awesome.  I wasn't sure what to get. But since you were playing them I thought that might be best for me  a beginner.  I can always go up right?   Anyway I didn't really want anything.  I was just so inspired by your demos and website  I just had to say what a GOOD JOB!!!  If I have any questions etc. I will be sure to e-mail you.  Thanks for the inspiration.

Hi Brad!! I have just received my Panflute. (wow!! That was quick) [less than a week]

12-29-08 New Orleans USA

Dear, Melinda and Brad,

                        The pan-flute arrived here safely last Tuesday, it really is beautiful!  Practicing since Thursday I can find a tone in each pipe, although Amelle's expression is more of curiosity when I play as opposed to pleasure when she hears Brad play on the computer.

We hope you are having a nice Holiday Season, I attached some photos we took for our Christmas card.  Thank you for your previous reply and for your interest in us.

 

Thank you for all your personal touches and kindness, it really makes this even more of a wonderful experience!
                                                              Happy Holidays!

Aloha Brad & Melinda...

Happy New Year! I received my new panpipes! Thank You! When I opened the box, I was very pleasantly surprised at the fine quality and beauty of your instruments! It feels "SOLID" in my hand, unlike others I have seen and held.

The pride that The Pan-Flute Shop takes in their craftsmanship is greatly appreciated, hence, making any future flute purchases from you, a certainty.

Thanks again for your courtesy, timely service, and of course, your fine panflutes!

Hello, Brad
 
I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas. We all did here.
 
My son, Joshua, was THRILLED (and a bit stunned) when he opened the panflute!  Within a few minutes, he had figured out The First Noel, and then Amazing Grace.  It is a beautifully crafted instrument, with a wonderfully soothing sound!
My question is this:  We saw a video clip with you playing a piece from Lord of the Rings.  Where could we find that sheet music?  That is Joshua’s all-time favorite movie series, and he is itching to be able to play some of the music.  Any direction you could give would be appreciated.  Thanks!

12-23-08 Saskatchewan Canada

Dearest Brad and Melinda,
Just wanted to let you know that the two pan-flutes we ordered arrived to
our door on SUNDAY, Dec.21 when it was minus 50 degrees with the windchill.
That means it was really only minus 36 degrees but with the wind it felt
like minus 50. Hence your exposed skin would freeze in minutes. So a little
insight into how far your pan-flutes travelled under extreme conditions!
As soon as the box arrived I took it over to my parent's home as they had
the grandchildren there for their Christmas party and my parents wanted to
give my daughter and my nephew a pan-flute for Christmas. (They are long
time Zamfir fans). The children opened up the box and imagine everyone's
delight to find that you had wrapped each item with Christmas paper and
added a candy cane! The Christmas card was an extra fun bonus as my children
listen to an old Christmas song on a variety cd called "Melle Kelekanuka".
My parents and entire family were thrilled which, just to add further to a
very long message, meant so much as my father is very ill and my mom just
got out of the hospital with heart surgery. I have told so many people about
the amazing service you provided when we ordered and now I have more to add
to that with the personal touch you added to our package. (The candy canes
didn't even break!)
Brad and Melinda - words cannot express our gratitude for your very personal
and excellent service. We pray that you have a beautiful Christmas and
always know that your work is appreciated and certainly made a difference to
this Canadian family.

Hi Brad and Melinda,
 
I thought you might like to see a picture of your Pan Flute in use.  We had such an amazing time and the kids worked so hard to make this show a success!  Our Peter Pan (Cheryl Davis) learned a beautiful lullaby on the Pan Flute and I incorporated it into the show!  Thanks for making such a wonderful instrument.  It meant so much to our Peter Pan, that I let her keep it after the show closed.  It will be a treasured keepsake for her.  Anyway, I hope you have a wonderful holiday season and thanks for sharing your talents with us!

12-23-08 Estonia

Hei Melinda and Brad !

The flute arrived yesterday with no troubles. First of all - thank You for
the IZ music :-) That was a great surprise. I really love IZ's Music, but
unfortunately no-one knows him here in Estonia. (weel - actually some
people know now...).

Couple of things about the panflute.
I really do love it. Amazing - how can you keep the price so low ?
I compared it to my other panflutes and here's what I think.

I have the "Black-Beauty" panflute from Svart Ovidiu (O&M panflutes). It
looks very nice, I really like the dark colour. It's not a cheap
flute, it has also 22 tubes, but it goes three tones lower (starts with
G).
I really do like the sound of Black-Beauty.

Comapring these two together - Your flute looks smaller and is more
comfortable for me to hold. The sound of Your flute is a lot stronger and
brighter.
Even in the very low notes it does not lose the "colour" of the sound and
the overall sound balance between high and low notes is much better. 
Tubes of Your flute are not so wide like tubes of "Black Beauty" but the
walls of tubes are thicker. It makes Your flute smaller and (most
important) easyer to play !
Really - I can't get clear and shiny note in the low end of "Black
Beauty". The low notes sort of "fade away" and it needs a lot of air...
No such problem with Your flute !
The overall response of Your flute is also much better than the response
"Black Beauty".
I 'm really surprised.
All in all I think that Your flute is much better in very meny points
compared to "Black Beauty", but the price is less than a half of the "BB"!

Compared to my Preda (22 tube tenor, starting with G - 5 notes higher than
Your flute) - the sound of Your flute is brighter, but not so sharp. Preda
does not have that "sparkle" or "whisper" and sound more like whistle or
flute. Higher notes of preda are stronger and maybe the response is
better, but it's very easy to overblow the higher part preda and the
sound is a little too sharp sometimes. No such problem with you flute. I
guess I can give a better forte with preda in higher parts, but You flute
has more balanced sound and it's very easy to play. The tubes of
preda are smaller so it gives more dynamics, but you must have very good
training and control of your lips..

Hello, my name is Marc, Amelle's dad for who you mailed the $100 pan-flute student package. Thank you for the two e-mails; yes the address is correct.  Amelle is 4 and half months old, and recently I became, to my great joy, a stay at home father while my wife went back to work after her maternity leave.  Amelle is our first child, and since she was born (even before!) we have been singing to her which she responds to enthusiastically.  I soon discovered she enjoyed all sorts of sounds, so this Christmas I purchased a small collection of instruments, mostly inexpensive, like a recorder, kazoo, slide whistle, a melodihorn, some bird calls and a jaw harp-the jaw harp took me quite awhile to catch on to,and she loves it!-some of these I've been practicing already and all of which I am committed to learning for my own self-improvement and for her learning skills and entertainment! It is a lot of fun!  Last week I was looking at your pan-flute web-site and one of Brads musical selections was playing as I was walking through the room with her, she began craning and bobbing her head as if to see where the sounds were coming from, then awhile later she was in her chair as the music continued playing and she was smiling and laughing, I knew this was an instrument I should learn as well.
 
                          thank you again, we're looking forward to receiving it
 
                                          Fondly, amelle and marc

Hi Brad. How are you? I am the person that lives in California from Hawaii. My name is Donald and I bought a 22 pipe left hand tenor from you. I just love this instrument and play it every day. The 22 pipe is so nice because it has such a wide range of notes that accommodates almost any tune I play.

I have finally got to the point of mastering the tune that turned me onto the pan flute to begin with. It's the 'Lonely Shephard.' Also have been expanding my versatility with other tunes.

Thanks Brad for inspiring me, and to make it possible for me to learn this instrument.

Good morning Mrs. and Mr. White,
Thank you very much for the informations and the presents that you wanted to
include to the Grand Tenor pan-flute. I will inform you as soon as the package
will come in Italy. No matter the time it takes to get there but will be more appreciated for your thoughts and your kindness.
I take this opportunity to wish both Merry Christmas and a better new year.
 
Take care my dear friends, Aloha and Ciao...

[Catherine's father always wanted a panflute. He is very ill and she hope this will help inspire him to get well and play. ]

Hi Brad,

I received my father's flute yesterday as well as the other gifts.  Thank
you so very much.  This is really going to lift his spirits up.  Today he
was able to talk so it was great to hear his voice~!  He has been off the
breathing machine for 2 days now!  That truly has been a wonderful Christmas
present on its own!  He is still in the intensive care unit, but making
small improvements everyday.  I think he will have the strength to open the
presents on his own on Christmas.  It probably will be awhile before he can
actually play the panflute, but his respiratory reserves are getting better
and better everyday.   He still has the tracheostomy in, but it is temporary
and when he see's the flute I know he will progress faster wanting to play
it!!!  I will keep you informed and thanks so much for your thoughts and
prayers.  We are getting a Christmas miracle this year!!!

A blessed holiday season to you and yours,
Catherine

Hi Brad,

I received the pan flute I ordered yesterday, and I just wanted to thank you again for all your help.  It came beautifully wrapped and with a delightful card, which I didn't expect.  I also didn't expect the kind note on the box of the pan flute (I did open it to make sure nothing had broken during shipping).

Thank you so much for all your help.  Nick will be so excited when he sees his new instrument.

All the best,
Susan

P.S.  The grocery store flying you used as packing material was interesting! I've never been to Hawaii, and I loved seeing the different variety of things for sale and how things were just a touch more expensive. Oh well.  You guys get sun and sand, and us Clevelanders get snow and slush:)

Hi Brad,
I just wanted to thank you and Melinda for your prompt service AND the beautiful presentation. I didn\'t expect it to come wrapped! My wife knew what was inside, so she dove into the packages right away - an early Christmas around our house. Your DVD is very helpful. The craftsmanship on the flute is great! The sound couldn\'t be more perfect or exotic. I\'m a guitar picker, and can\'t wait to accompany her and her new pan flute. Thanks so much, and mele kalikimaka!

Brad, Thank you very much for getting the flute to me in a speedy fashion. Thank you as well for having it nicely wrapped and ready to go. Although I would have liked to have played it myself before handing it over to Mom (just kidding). I'm sure she will have many years of enjoyment and inspiration from this. I couldn't have found a better person to get this from than the crafter himself. Happy Holidays!  Aloha, Bill

Hi Brad,

Just wanted to let you know that I received my panflute today and I am
thrilled with it. I brought it for a gift for my partner for Christmas but
couldn't resist having a little go before wrapping it... Sounds excellent &
surprisingly easy to play... I think he will be really pleased!

I also wanted to personally thank you for offering an excellent service
(something that we rarely experience here in the UK). I am extremely
impressed with your personal response, your products and the packaging and
delivery. You can be absolutely certain that if I want to purchase any
further panflutes or related products, I will definitely come back to you.

I will keep you posted with my partner's progress.

Thank you

Kindest Regards
Aloha

Hello Melinda and Brad,

I picked up the flute [Grand Tenor] yesterday and went straight to it with the Puscoiu book.  It took me quite a while to get a clean tone out of the instrument, but I finally got there when I gathered what Puscoiu was talking about with the tongue.  My wife Brandi on the other hand appears to be a natural and got good tones out of the flute with her first attempt (straight out of the box with no instruction)!  I couched her through a reading of one of the melodies from the Puscoiu text and now I think that she may want to take up the instrument as well.

I took up the instrument in practice again this morning and watched your DVD Brad.  It helped to reinforce the embouchure but most important for me was your explanation of appropriate breathing in which you made use of your hands.  This was quite good.  I often heard "breath from the diaphragm" during my days in chorus, but to be told that doesn't really get it.  I finally figured out what this meant some time ago, but I was missing a piece that I think you and Puscoiu put into perspective.  That is the resistance needed to sustain.  If I understand you guys right, and I think I do, this is going to help a lot.

Well, thanks for the pipes!  They sound great when I can manage to pull myself into line or when my wife takes her hand to the task!  I look forward to improving and making some music.

Regards,
Greg

Hi Brad,
 
    The Grand Tenor arrived safe and sound this morning my time [ 5 days].
Not bad service at all! Thanks for everything.
    The only drawback is just how much technique I seemed to have lost in the past few months and years, but I'll get it back.
    I'm going to sit down with a nice cup of tea and watch every second of your DVD
(I've already read the instructions).
    My next few days are going to be a steep re-learning curve.
 
    Here we go....!
 
    Thanks again for the excellent web site and service.
 
    Cheers

ps... In answer to your question about what music I play, it is mainly Celtic music. I'm known mainly for my voice but I also play eight instruments and the kind of instrumentals I play lend themselves beautfully to the pan flute

11-19-08 Alberta Canada

Hello , My name is Ben Khorshidnam, living in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada,
fell in love with the sound of Panflute the moment I heard it in a local
trade show by a group of south American musicians. A little research online
lead me to Brad White,,,, After talking to Brad couple of times on the phone
before I do any purchase, I sensed his integrity and honesty and also his
passion about playing Panflute was evident.
So After a lot of research and figuring out how expensive a good quality
panflute can be, I went back to Brad`s website and purchased his starting
pack,,,.
Brad,, Thanks a lot for your honesty, first class service, and quality
panflute.
You make me feel that you are always there waiting for my call or email, it
is unbelievable. When I got my panflute (15 pipe),, the first thing I did,
grabbed it and blew in it,, right out of the box,,, Bingo,, the sounds are
coming out with the least effort,, compare to a Synthetic pipes I had
before, which by the way it was most discouraging instrument,,,,, man what a
difference.
I STRONGLY suggest any beginner to not shop anywhere else,, since Brad`s
products are UN_BEATABLE in price and quality.
The Instruction book and DVDs are a real help too.
Aloha Brad.
Greetings from Canada....
Cant wait till I grow out of this panflute and get your Grand Tenor.

Cheers,
Ben.

Hi Brad
I got the pan flute in yesterday. I have learned how to blow across the pipes, how much I don't know, and how much time I will be spending learning to know what I don't know.
I am excited!!!!!  I am excited to learn all about the pan flute and how it will respond to the way I play it.

Thanks Brad, I'll keep intouch.

Hello there, Brad and Melinda.

I thought I'd send you a quick email to let you know how I'm doing with my panflute. Because I'm already experienced with flutes, I picked up the panflute very quickly. I can get a really nice sound out of it.

And, I've discovered that the best way to play the panflute is to play it from your heart and your soul.  

Take care.

10-24-08 Spain

Hello!!!

I have just received the pan flute [Grand Tenor] that I bought from you and I am really amazed! I didnt expect it to sound so good. Even my father, who didn't like the sound of my old panflute, said that he hears the difference very much.

The flute that I had until now was an Andean one that I modified. I changed the position of the tubes because I couldn't see the idea of having a narrow panflute with two lines of tubes. So I dismounted it and made it a one line stright flute. Well, the sound of the cheap bamboo loses it all.

My name is Vital Mezery and I am a drummer, also I play piano and pan flute, and I produce my own music. In the next few months, I will put to selling on the internet the first album of my musical project which is called  "Make me see".

Thank you very much!

Message: To Brad and Melinda.

Today, on the 2nd October, I received my Grand Tenor Pan Flute. I can't tell you how pleased I am. Both me and my Dad (Lynden) would like to thank you so, SO much. I was so excited when I came home from school. I opened up the package, and blew a few notes out of the flute straight away. The quality and tone of my new panflute is BEAUTIFUL. I really can't thank you enough. Maybe I'll get to play in my school concerts if I get good enough!

Again, thank you so much.

Hi there Brad, great news. My Grand Tenor Panflute arrived today 1st October 2008 in the UK. It is absolutely fabulous. I just hope that one day I can play this panflute as brilliantly as you do. I can't thank you enough for your excellent service. Best wishes to you and Melinda from Linda.

9-29-08 Arizona USA

Hi Brad. I love my new pan flute. The tone is every bit as good as I expected. I have a question. Could you coach me a little on how to find the right hole at the right time? For example moving from a C to a G and finding the G easier. Not
being able to see the holes while playing makes it difficult.  Thanks.
Mark
----------------------------

Hi Mark,

It's really about learning/feeling the spacial distance between notes.. or intervals. Practice doing scales in 3rds, 4ths and 5ths. Sometimes a quicker motion is more accurate than hesitating and "thinking" too much.

It is one of the challenges of the panflute... but you will amazed at how much progress you will make if you practice intervals. Divide your time between just playing pieces.. and doing technical exercises. That combination is the key to getting really good.

Keep up the good work.. Pan On .. brad

Ho Brad:
 
Terry, here I receive the alto pan flute and the CD's, and I am very pleased. I am enjoying listening to the CD's.
 
What make it so nice is that I am able to play along with some of the music. The harmony on the woodwinds is beautiful. And the piano "Wow". They are all great but I just love the "Winter's Journey" CD, it is out of this world. "Feliz Navidad" is another Wow! 
 
Thank you so much and you and yours have a happy holiday.

Brad,
 
Thank you for your help getting started with the lessons for playing the pan flute. Playing the DVD on a DVD player has really helped!!!  :)
 
I am already enjoying this instrument!  I finally got the knack on how to blow and get sound.  Now we will be practicing, practicing, practicing!
 
Thank you also for the CDs of your music.  They are beautiful.  Also, I think they will help me learn technique by listening to the instrument being played in various ways throughout the songs.
 
I am glad that I found your website and got such great service!  I can't wait to be able to play the pan flute with other instruments in our church group.
 
Have a wonderful weekend!

9-26-08 Missouri USA

Okay, 'thank you' does not begin to cover it all.  I am SO pleased with my flute.  I pulled it out of its box and put it to my lips and out came the sweetest note I've ever heard in my life.  I can't wait until I'm good enough to play in public!

The bottom octave is relatively easy, but I'm finding the top notes are a little harder.  My son told me that now that I have my flute, I can learn to play 'Jingle Bells' on it for him.  I play the piano so I know the notes and it wasn't hard to find them, but I never thought it would sound the way it does on the flute.

Again, thank you so much. I have a goal to learn to play every musical instrument ever invented before I die, and while I don't hold out much hope that this is realistically possible, you have brought me one step closer :)

Brad; My pan-flute came in today, my! What speed for usps! Its in perfect condition. I pulled it out of the box and played three hymns, before I laid it down. Of course, The sounds weren't correct, yet, But I will learn, and am excited about it all!

Thanks! Jack (73 years young)

9-18-08 Nevada USA

Hi Brad and Melinda:
I was so very impressed with the way you handled the delivery of my husband\'s flute and kept it mum without sending e-mails to the house or calling.  It was so much appreciated.

Unfortunately I am not so timely as you were with sending my husbands surprise birthday gift in the mail.  To get it 4 days from the time I called was unheard of.  

It was so much appreciated though and he just loves it.  

He has been playing it daily for 1-2 hours.  I think he will wind up being a good pan flute flutist.  He loves it.  He loves the flute and pretty much has given up guitar for now.

You both were so wonderfully patient about the shipping address and everything came out fine in the shipping of the beautiful pan flute.  We ordered the Grand Tenor.  It has a very good sound quality and that is very important to my husband Terry.

God Bless you two and thank you for blessing us.

Love, Terry and Janny Lang :)

Aloha Melinda and Brad!

I just want to tell you that my GrandTenor panflute has arrived today! It took about 2 weeks to get here, as expected. Everything is fine and in order. As soon as I took it out of the box, I played a little bit. It sounds great!! It's always exciting to get a new instrument.
So, a big thank you for this!
I'll keep you in touch of my progress and if there's anything, I'll let you know!
Once again, thank you very much!

Dear Sir,
 
 The pan Flute arrived expediciously and in great condition.
 
 I have already spent two... half-hour sessions with it and have noticed  a significant improvrment.  (My dog even stopped running away)

Thank you for a fine instrument.  And should I become somewhat proficient with this one, I already look forward to ordering another,
 
 I hope that you and your wife had fun on your vacation in New York City,
 
May God Bless you and your family.

9-8-08 Pago Pago Samoa

Dear Melinda,

The pipes arrived. They are really super. I've been looking at the construction. You must have a really nice machine for that...or is it a lathe?

 I'm making slow but steady progress, though I work a lot. So, I haven't watched the DVD yet but have been "saving" it as a treat when I get some time to devote. Brad's gifted and I know you are proud. I sure hope you are musical, too, or else I bet he drives you bonkers with all the whimsical noises.

 I'm down here in Pago Pago, so the box arrived fairly quickly. I play with musicians down here regularly (strings and harmonica) and I look forward to introducing people to Brad's instrument. I'll be sure to point them to your website when they ask where it came from. The Pacific Arts Festival was in July and the Solomon Islands guys were blowing panpipes.... everyone was enamored.
 
Take care and mahalo,

Subject: Commendations on Your Pan Flutes

Dear Brad,
     Just the other evening, Miguel S... called me up and said that he had bought one of your Grand Tenor pan flutes.  He was one of my Andean buddies when I played with Friends of the Andes in San Francisco, and he's one of the best Andean flutists in the business.  Check out his videos on YouTube. 
     Anyway, he said that he was pleasantly surprised at how well your Grand Tenor pan flute played, especially considering that it's modestly priced and the fact that it wasn't made of bamboo, but rather of wood - maple.  He had expressed doubts to me before he ordered the pan flute. 
     By the way - what do you use to stop the bottoms of the pipes? 
                                                    Sincerely,
                                                        David O [david is a very accomplished player]

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

Thank you David, we are very proud of the quality and the prices we try to keep them at. We use rubber stoppers in each pipe. They are durable and easy to tune with. - Brad

Hi Brad and Melinda, my Pan Flute arrived today 26th August 2008. I can't thank you enough. Excellent service. It only took 1 week to arrive here in the UK. I am so thrilled with this amazing instrument. It is truly a work of art. I put your DVD on and listened very carefully to your every word, then kept hitting the pause button and trying what you said to do.  First I was getting very windy notes (not like your beautiful tones) then after 5 minutes of huffing and puffing this beautiful sound came from one of the pipes. I had got it in the right position. Well now there is no turning back. I am so in love with this Pan Flute. At the moment I'm a bit dizzy like you said I would be. I am sure that I am going to drive my family crazy whilst I practice. I just can't leave it alone. Every time I pick it up I improve and I'm only on my first day. Even getting the sharps and flats. I must also mention that I have never played a musical intrument in my life yet I seem to have taken to that Pan Flute like a duck to water. I would have never have got the technique of playing this had it not have been for your excellent instructions on your DVD. So thank you thank you thank you for your brilliant service and outstanding Pan Flutes. I will send you an update on my progress in a few months.

Hi Brad,

The panflute arrived in beautiful condition on Saturday. I've really enjoyed playing it already--and it is sounding wonderful with the harp, as you said it would!

I wanted to show you what I added to the flute--I always add something to each of my treasured possessions to make them unique to me. It is attached.

I did it by hand using an 18 karat gold leafing pen (Krylon brand). I sketched it out a few times on paper, then did it lightly in pencil, and then added it to the flute. I am an artist too! :)

Thank you again for sharing your beautiful instrument with me.

Hello Melinda,
 
Yesterday my panflute has arrived - everything is fine - thank you very much.
 
Do I also have to use a special oil for the panflute ? And how often will I have to put it on?
 
Many greetings from Germany
Ariane
------------------

Hello Ariane,

You will NEVER need to oil it... ever. It has been specially treated in oils and waxes. That is something you won't have to think about.

Enjoy your new panflute :)

Aloha,
Brad White

Hi, "Gday"etc!
 
The 10 pipe pentatonic flute and CDs arrived safely this Friday.  Thanks for your prompt delivery.
I love both panflutes (18 pipe tenor & funpipes) and have made great headway in learning to play.  It's so much easier learning to read music as an adult and I've even managed to play sharps (not well, but consistently) after only 3 days. 
 
Thanks again and warm regards,

Brad,
 
The pan-flute arrived at the post office here yesterday. I've picked it up this morning.
I had a few minutes to blow a tune on my way to work, and it sounds great. It doesn't work too great in the car though :)
 
I'll be calling you if I need any help or if I have questions.
 
Thanks again.

Hiya...just wanted to say thank you so much. The Fun Pipes arrived today, snuggly in their popcorned package. I couldn\'t wait to open them & start learning this beautiful instrument. I was very pleasantly suprised by how quickly they arrived & wanted to again thank you for such wonderful dedicated service.

Dear Brad and Melinda,
 
As promised here’s a quick note to let you know that I received my package today at 14h00.

I don’t suppose I need to tell you that I am more than well pleased. What a very nice instrument. I even made a quick picture while I was preparing a backup of the instruction DVD. A big thank you for the DVD as well!
 
I could not resist a try on the instrument as soon as I had it unpacked and managed a fairly true sound on all but the highest three pipes. Not bad for the first five minutes. Nor was it a problem getting a tune ‘right’ (Danny Boy). That is if you weren’t paying attention to timing, intonation and everything else that makes music music…

 I would like to keep you informed of my progress once in a while, but since I’m sure that you must be getting tons of these letters, I promise not to bother you unnecessarily.
 
Thank you very much for your kind and meticulous attention.
 
Met vriendelijke groeten J
 
Aloha,

Hi (G'day) Melinda,
 
Thanks for your prompt response.

The last package arrived 8 days after postage, including being opened by customs for quarrantine inspection, which is pretty good.
 
I love the 18 pipe flute and am making a lot of headway with learning to play.  I should have done this years ago!
 
Thanks again for your excellent service and well made products!  I'm sure you will hear from me again very soon as I'm a teacher and would love my students to take up the pipes as an instrument!
 
Warm regards

(Can you have warm regards when it's 6 degrees C?)

Thank you SOOOO much! You have no idea how excited I am! I've always thought panflutes were the coolest and I just decided I finally had to have one. I'm in my last year of high school and I can't wait to show up all my band friends. The only wind instrument i've ever played is sax and that was only for 4 years. I really hope I catch on quick.

Kia Ora, Brad
 
Just to let you know my flute arrived safely yesterday, and it even looks as though DOC didn't bother opening the package (to check the wood) - perhaps they are getting used to New Zealanders getting their pipes from you.
 
What a beautiful instrument! Makes my el cheapo pipes look even more el cheapo! The DVD has been most illuminating, particularly the sections on flats (I always wondered how so few pipes could generate so many octaves) and the vibrato. I can play most instruments that I pick up, but this will be a tough one to master. I can manage the notes OK but my breathing and articulation will be back to basics.
 
Thanks for your excellent service and a lovely instrument.
 
Best regards

7-24-08 Mexico

Hello Melinda, today I have received the package.  I am very happy¡

I ve just listened the first CD, it is beautiful to listen that kind of music, it seems to remove all my body and soul fibers. 
 

On the other hand, I have just take my first lesson, with the DVD and the pan flute, at first I could not play any note, but when I saw the explanations in the DVD by Brad it was so easy that the notes began to sound out.
 

Thanks a lot and God bless you and your husband for the hours of pleasant music and entertainment with the pan flute.
 

Excuse me every mistake in this note, but I dont know English too much.

Hi Melinda,
 
Thanks again.  That was very fast shipping, and very well packed.  The instrument is more impressive than the demo on Brad's site.  I have already spoken with Brad over the phone when I got stumped while watching and playing along with the instructional DvD and book.
 
I was nervous at first, but Brad was very understanding, and was intent on making sure I understood everything before we concluded.  I was very much at ease and had a very good experience dealing with Brad.
 
I am working hard everyday on learning how to play.  It is not as easy as I first thought.  I am however, enjoying my pan flute very much, and will continue to for years to come.  Thank you both.  I will from time let you both know of my progress.
 
Thank You,
Jim

Hey Brad,
        I just received my 15-pipe panflute today and it truly is a wonderful instrument. It is very well made and sounds great (the few notes I can play haha) It's easier to play than I expected, which was a nice surprise and it got here faster than I thought it would. Anyways, thanks for the panpipe and great service!

Brad,

I have just recieved my Pan-Flute in very good health. I am excited to start learning this long awaited instrument. I have been wanting to learn the Pan-Flute for over a year. This week, finally got up the nerve to buy one. I keep looking at your site and keep being inspired to learn. I dont have a desire to be come a well known professional, but do have a very strong desire to learn and some day express my own music for family and friends.

Thank you again so much. I will keep in touch and let you know how I am progressing from time to time. Again, thank you so very much.

I just want to write you a few words to let you know that I just opened your
package today and everything arrived in pristine conditions.

You play it so effortless and your music is so relaxing, so melodic and that
is what I think music really is.

Anyway, I congratulate you for a good and well made musical instrument and thank
you for the excellent music you can take out of it.

A very happy customer and I hope, a friend too,

6-16-08 USA

Dear Dr. White:
 
I know that I ordered and paid for the pan flute, but I still want to say thanks anyway.  It seems like it is a gift to me.  I have picked it up and really started playing it and have truly enjoyed it.  I am a school teacher, and have needed a summer hobby to keep myself occupied. Well, turns out this is the perfect hobby.

Thanks for your DVD tips on how to play it.  Until I watched it, I was trying to play it like blowing over a soda bottle, which is the totally incorrect way to play it 

Anyway, thanks so much, and you guys in Hawaii say, "Aloha,"  in Texas we say, "Bye y'all."
 
Sincerely,
 
Norm

Hi Brad & Melinda
 
My left handed Grand Tenor arrived (in only 5 business days).
      I'd like to tell you I am very impressed with all of your services. My panflute came with safe package and Dvd. It looks very beautiful, nice finishing, feels good & it's smooth on my lips, easy to hold even using one hand, very good tone & reasonable price. I’like to recommend this flute to everyone.
      This night I can do a little practice but I will spend all of my weekend to play my flute. If  I have some question I will mail to you again.
 
      Thanks!!!

Hi Brad:

Thank you for the quick shipment and thank you for the MP3 file, it's
playing fine on Windows media player.

I got the panflute today - it's beautiful. I started practicing and as I
have not played a flute before [he plays harp] it will take some time getting used to the
embouchure technique.

All the best from Washington,

Received the pan flute today. Absolutely loved the finish. It was amazingly simple for me to create melodies - I did get dizzy - but will get use to it. Was wondering if you sell a traveling case for the tenor pan-flute.

Hello Mayra, Most people, including myself just put them in small luggage, briefcases or computer bags. One person told me a gun case worked well.

Glad you are enjoying it ... brad

Hi Brad:

Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions this morning -
especially amidst my younger daughter's interactions. I appreciate the
level of customer service you are offering and I really am looking forward
to receiving your pan flute. Ever since I was a kid I was mesmerized by the
sound of this instrument; I had wanted to learn how to play the pan flute as
a kid; however, my parents kept discouraging me, saying that it was too
difficult to learn. Watching your youTube videos and browsing your website
have convinced me that I absolutely can learn how to play this amazing
instrument, and for that I want to say "Thank you!"

6-5-08 Japan

Hi, Melinda and Brad,

The package just arrived--Thurs. morning (4 days delivering), 6/05, Japan time, which I guess would still be mid-day Wednesday in Hawaii. Unfortunately I have to rush off to school now so can't experiment with it, but the panflute looks and sounds beautiful. And very smooth under the lip, Brad. Just wanted to inform you of its quick delivery.

Thanks!!

6-4-08 Canada

Hello both;

My pan-flute arrived yesterday. It is in perfect condition and I had no extra customs charges to pay.

I have already started to play. I find it to be a very intuitive instrument to learn how to play and already have basic songs started up and going quite well. I find it a joy to play, and I think that since you cannot actually see the pipes under your lips, it will help me learn the actual tones of the notes better and with enough practice, I should be able to work out songs I know by ear.

Thanks again,
Thomas

6-3-08 Canada

Hi Melinda & Brad
 
The (leftie) panflute had arrived today (June/3/08) so it only took 12 days to get to Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Wow! It looks and sounds very nice. I was a little bit leary that the quality was not going to be as good as I expected it to be. 

But it was!

Well, anyway, I am happy with what I got and now I'll have to take the time to learn to play.

Hi Brad and Melinda
 
I was so excited today as my pan flute arrived and living in country Western Australia i am very suprised that it arrived so early. I been having a blast with it all ready, the DVD is excellent. i have been driving everyone nuts but at least with 7000acres i'm bound to find some where to practice.
 
Thank you so much the pan flute is beautiful and i can already get most of the notes. i can't wait to start to play something that resembles music. i am sure you will hear from me again in the future.
 
just a quick note it was opened by customs in Australia and had no problems. if you remember it was a concern of mine before i ordered my pan flute.
 
Thanks again

Well the pan-flute came in today. It is a very beautiful looking instrument. Though like any other instrument it will take time to be able to make a clear sound out of all tubes. Right now its not to bad because its only the last four tubes that I am having trouble with but eventually I will master it. So anyway I am going to play, so talk to you later. And thanks again.

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!

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 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,

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!

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,

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)

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

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

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,

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!

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!

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

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.
