Flute Catalog

The flutes shown below are a representative sampling of what I make and currently have available. Each flute is carefully tuned to both mode 1 and mode 4 of the pentatonic scale. Regardless of key, the playing holes are spaced the same distance apart which makes them easy to play and to switch from flutes of one key to another. Most of my flutes are one-of-a-kind and wood has so many variations, it is difficult to have two flutes be exactly alike. That being said, if you see a flute that you like and it is marked SOLD, I can make one similar for you. Either go to my Contact Us page and email me with the flute number, or click on the Add To Cart button. When I get the order, i'll know the flute is sold and I will make one as similar as possible. Allow about two weeks for shipment.

Should you prefer a particular flute but in a different wood than the one shown, I can make it for you. However, I have found that when I begin making a flute, the final shape and key are often somewhat different than what I had in mind. You might say that the spirit of the wood has a mind of its own. Also, a flute might have a specific "caretaker" in mind, something that is not revealed until that person is guided to my site and contacts me. Please allow three to four weeks for special orders.

Over the years I have been making flutes, I have found it best to talk with a perspective flute "caretaker" before finalizing an order and I still like to do that. However, I have also found that getting back to people can be cumbersome, so I have added a shopping cart and a secure payment system. You can still contact me directly by visiting the "contact us" page, or you can use the shopping cart and pay via a credit card through Paypal. Either way, your information remains safe and secure.

Payment options

To order a flute, please choose one of the following options.

1. Simply click on the "add to cart" button next to the desired flute and follow the steps to pay using Paypal. (Best way)

2. Jot down the flute number and description, go to the "contact us" page and fill out the requested information. I will then contact you at your specified time and we can finalize the order.

3. Try contacting me via phone at (603) 968-2171. You will probably have to leave a message, as this is the home phone. I will get back to you as soon as possible.

4. Order by mail, including a check made out to Raven Song Flutes, a money order or credit card number. I only accept Visa and Mastercard. Include the card number, expiration date and the three digit security code on the back of the card next to the signature block. Also the name of the person on the card. Be sure to include the flute number and a brief description from this site. Also include a phone number I can reach you at if necessary. Send it to: Gerry Ouellette, Raven Song Flutes, P. O. Box 955, Plymouth, New Hampshire, 03264.

Please note: All prices include insured shipping via USPS Priority Mail within the United States. Foreign orders, including Canada, please contact me for shipping cost.

All flutes come with a fleece bag. Should you desire a leather bag, I recommend you use the fleece bag as an inner liner to prevent oils from the leather from damaging the finish on your flute.

Laminated Flutes

I consider myself a pretty humble person, but these flutes are really beautiful, and they sound as good as they look. Each flute has at least four different woods. Some of the woods are from Central America, like Red Heart, Yellow Heart and Purple Heart. There is also some American Holly which is the whitest wood known. The effect is really striking. If you are looking to step up a grade in your next flute, try one of these, You will be happy with it. I have made fourteen of these flutes and no two are the same.
