Read what some of our clients are saying:
I received the flute today. It is absolutely gorgeous. From one woodworker to another, nice job.
I love the sound of the flute. It will take me a little while to get used to the square body, but it does have a nice feel and balance in my hands.
Please pass on my thanks to your daughter for making the lovely flute bag. I love the color.
Thanks again, Joe Pack

Dear peacefulsoundsinak,
Hi ...this has nothing to do with this flute, but one that I just purchased. It has quickly become my favorite flute! I am so happy with it I just had to let you know...I can hardly put it down and only do so when it will no longer play. You do beautiful work and should be very proud of your product. Thank you so much for this wonderful gift...know that it will be well taken care of, loved and played...it is the slightly curly walnut in the key of E. The mellow tone is very soothing and inspirational...again thank you...Namaste' Donna

Wow! I love the tone. The key and tonal quality is exactly what I had hoped for!!! I love the feel and they are so smooth to play! Best flutes and at the best value! I have bought a few flutes on line. Only three are really playable! The two I purchased from you are the best flutes I own! A couple of years ago I purchased a drone flute on line without hearing a sound byte. It looked great, but was like a chunk of shredded wheat inside the two holes. Can not get a tone out of it! I am going to polish the inside even if I ruin it. Can't make it any worse! I have played many and I would buy the flutes you build hands down. Thank You for the deal on the flute bags. They are awesome! Again I thank You for everything!
I just went up to my music room to check out how they sound thru my effects pod and amp! Wow! What tone! I am so pleased that I found your site! My grand-daughter is 10yrs old, she lives with us. I picked her up from school yesterday. When I played them for her,she got excited and she ask if I would play for her class? She is asking her teacher today! I am so glad she like music!

I picked up my custom flute this week and it was fantastic. The craftsmanship was exceeded all of my expectation. My custom, sea turtle (Honu), totem looks great and the inlays were perfect. This flute is a true work of art! In short my flute looks and sounds like a true piece of American history!

Jason you should be very proud of you work and the work of your family ! As soon as I can put this one down and figure out what key I'll want next you will get a call from me.
Again , Jason tell your Family Thank you so much for their time and work on my Flute . It shows they love what they do and that makes MY Flute that much more Special.

"Thank you so much for sending those blanks and DVD set out so fast. I can not believe it only took four days for them to get to Florida! They are absolutely gorgeous! I can not wait to begin the process for crafting my first flute and then to pass that craft on to the Scouts. I have already watched all of the videos and will probably begin this week. I need to pick up a few more clamps, a chromatic tuner, and one of those flute tuning rods. Do you have a suggestion of an inexpensive tuner that works well?

I was very interested in the Naytive American style flute for years. Never did I think I would be a Native American Style flute maker. I have Jason Leyva to thank for that. I met Jason at the Furrondy In Anchorage Alaska. Jason had a flute display that was amazing. The flutes were amazing sounding and the workmanship 2nd to none. The knowlege he had about how to make these amazing flutes WOW!!! If you are interested in an Native American Style Flute Jasons the man of course I would like to think I'm the runner up LOL..
I want to thank Jason for the knowlage he passed on to me and the steady advice.phone calls and friendship we share. Peaceful Sounds in Alaska rocks.
Thank you Jason
