Well, folks... I waited until it was the right time to kick a few things off and here it is! I'm very excited to have a , new site, and have new stuff available, too! For years I've been quietly observing changes in so many areas. I finally realized I simply have no choice but to initiate my relatively sinister plot to take over the world with bamboo and reed flutes...!
My inspiration rests on the overwhelming beauty of so many traditions from around the world. At the same time, I believe there is an inevitable morphing beginning to happen as the West develops its own style. The 'transplant' is over... the roots 'took'... and the genie is out of the bottle.
These ancient instruments stand on millennia of development and refinement, but no-one has the 'final word' on design, construction, technique or style. The past century has completely ripped open the possibilities (like my titanium ney) and hopefully this art and craft will move forward into uncharted territory while always being grounded in its stunning heritage.
I'm just going to light the fuse...
