Inspired by the mountains, the music and the beauty of the Great
Pacific Northwest, Vance Pennington (of Cherokee blood) has devoted
his life to the creation, preservation, promotion and playing of
the Native American flute.
From his home and 'Burning Tree Flute Studio' in the foothills
of the Oregon Coast Range, USA, Vance proudly yet humbly presents
a range of beautifully hand crafted Native flutes which
are inspired by his passion for perfection and love of the flute.
Each instrument is meticulously hand crafted, concert tuned and
decorated utilizing skills of craftsmanship, patience and total
dedication for the continued development of these magnificent musical
instruments - thus sharing the gift that has been bestowed upon
him by the Creator.
Within these pages you will find a range of unique and beautifully handcrafted Native American Flutes, renowned for their outstanding museum quality and craftsmanship, which are enjoyed by all levels of professional musicians, recording artists and novices, throughout the world. Their hauntingly beautiful sound quality, accurate professional tuning and easy playability rank them as being amongst the finest flutes available today. As an International ‘Native American Flute’ maker, his creations have found homes in the Americas, Europe, the Far East, and across the Globe.
“It is my belief that Grandfather (the Creator) has bestowed
upon me a magnificent and extraordinary gift for creating these
sacred instruments. I am truly honored and accept his gift with
humility. As a full-time Native American flute 'professional', I feel I need
to share this gift with anyone who has an interest in playing them.
To this end, I offer advice to anyone who is seeking this knowledge,
in the hope that one day I can look back on my life and rest in
comfort knowing that I may have helped in the preservation and continuance
of this most wonderful and unique instrument, the Native American
flute.”
