This is a museum quality handcrafted flute by Johnny Chattin. Johnny is a Cherokee Indian and produces these fine quality instruments to be played. He personally plays and tunes each flute. Each flute is handcrafted of Eastern Red Cedar (the only traditional wood for making high these flutes). These are not turned on a lathe but are hand shaped to perfect contours that no machine can match. The art work is immaculate. No two are exactly alike. These are the same style that Johnny plays in public. Johnny has very high quality standards and takes an artist's pride in his work. He will destroy any flute that does not meet his standards when finished. You know that you are getting an instrument fit for a professional musician, art collector, museum or anyone wanting the best in quality and the haunting soothing voice of fine instrument. Each flute includes a signed, numbered, trademarked and sealed certificate of authenticity, instructions for caring for the flute, and a recording of Johnny test playing your flute before it is released for shipping to you. Animal head styles vary from time to time. No two are alike. The one that you get will not be exactly the same as the one in the picture. If you have a special request for the carved head contact us by e-mail or telephone for an estimate.
