Kit that sounds great. I just got my Kiowa Love Flute from eriktheflutemaker about a week ago. This is my 2nd NAF and his is absolutely the best I have ever heard or played.
Plus he is a cool guy and I love to support him. As some of you may know erik makes flutes and bamboo saxes of all different styles. He is a true craftsman.
Well, THANKS!!! And it's okay to call it "haunting" - others have and lived to tell the story! I do love this little flute. Thanks so much for dropping by!!
Hi - there are many Native American flutes. I like this one the best - google Erik the flutemaker and it'll take you to his website. His Kiowa flutes are excellent, well made, good tone, easy to play, VERY affordable - and Erik is a fun guy.
I think Erik is the only one that makes the Kiowa style flute, but yes there are many other people who sell Native American flutes. Erik is by far the most affordable as well.
See my update above. But I'm thinking comparing Native American style flutes might be like apples and oranges. I love my ETF Native American style flute. I also cherish my Laughing Crow flutes. And keep in mind - that 6th hole, which my ETF does not have, opens up ALOT of range and possibility!
Another really great NAF that I've discovered since uploading this video is by Laughing Crow - google Laughing Crow Native American Flute. He is a VERY sweet guy and makes wonderful and affordable flutes, too. For a larger bore and another nice selection of great NAF's, google High Spirits Native American Flute - the maker Odell seems like a great guy, too!
@kitd56 I agree. I have been listening to Laughing Crows samples and reading his website. I did not mean to imply that eriktheflutemaker makes the "best" flutes. I simply meant to say that he makes great flutes. He is a true craftsman and teacher.
Kit: Thank you so much for sharing your experience with this wonderful flute. It gives me such joy to listen to what you are playing and that you are sharing happiness to all who listen.
I just bought a Kiowa Love Flute from Erik the Flutemaker.. sounds so peaceful. I enjoy playing on the front porch when the rain is coming in. Just takes you to another place. Wonderful playing. I enjoyed listening to it.
THANK YOU SIR

I bought the Kiowa flute as well in 2009. For me it is the best form of music meditation. Thank you for sharing this video.

Kit i really enjoy your flute playing, very soothing to the soul. I will think of something for piano and maybe your Am flute.

Wonderful instrument, wonderful playing! I'm trying to avoid using the word "haunting" but that's exactly how it feels....
Thank you,

I enjoyed the sounds, check out my flute videos and let me know what you think. Keep playing, and I agree that Erik is very talented and humorous.

Actually, Jonah Thompson makes authentic NAF and is slightly less expensive than Erik, and High Spirits flutes are within the same price range.
