Hi John,

WWWOOOW MANNNN!!! This flute is fabulous. I don’t know where to start, but thank you again for this celestial creation. Your flute is truly spirited. Indeed the flute shows me. I had to get used to the fundamental hole first.  But now, wow, the flute plays itself almost. Very solid tuning!! Soo easy to play in the end and it’s voice is absolutely divine. (and all these new extra sounds i am discovering :)))
Thank you for the love and precision you put in flute as a whole but especially the woodworks and the tuning blew me away. I cant stop looking at the backside. soo soo beautiful!!
I adorned the flute a bit more. I hope i will carry away your approval. I included some pictures.

I was wondering if can also make a flute with a shorter mouthpiece and the fundamental hole slightly slanted? I am thinking about this, because now my arms and lower wrist are stretched maximum. If i buy a Dm, that would be an even longer flute with a farther stretch. (You must be tall yourself ;) i was thinking if the mouthpiece was like half shorter and the fundamental hole slanted according to my hand size. I dont know if that is possible.

I surely would love to buy more flutes from you.
You are a real Samurai. You have been a flute creator for many lifetimes. the flute feels like we know each other from lifetimes ago.

Much love to you.

In humble gratitude 🙏🏼

Dear John,

I have received my flute in the mail today, and let me tell you, it's absolutely beautiful. It came with an energy of its own, and the vibration of my home changed once I removed it from its package. After playing it for about an hour I was overwhelmed with a deep meditative sense of relaxation. It's safe to say that today my journey has begun. The leaves have begun to change here in Connecticut, and on my journey I plan on immersing myself in the wonderful peacefulness of nature, and commune with the great spirit. I will contact you again sometime in the future, but until then, I hope you stay happy, healthy, and peaceful. God bless!

Hi John!
Great news: my new flute arrived yesterday and I have to say that it looks unbelievable!

The two types of wood that we chose go very well together and it looks miles better and much more splendid than it does on the photograph. Yellow is my favorite color and I can't stop looking at it! It's a bit heavier than the other two flutes that we have and I already tried to play a couple of melodies. The sound is simply sublime! It's very soothing and calm.
Thank you once again for your wonderful work and I'm sure that it'll only keep getting better over the years!

Thanks once again!

“I recently added a flute of John Stillwell's to my collection. Not only is the combination of woods a feast for the eyes, but the tone of this F# minor flute is amazing. It can be played loudly or quietly; it is easy to find the half steps, and the tuning is impeccable. The sound is both resonant and brilliant and has inspired my playing to a new level. When I choose a flute to take with me, I readily reach for John's flute. Thank you. I'm just about ready for another!”

Dear John,
I can't tell you how much I appreciate all you have done, and all the work that goes into making a flute. I visit your web site often and listen to some of the albums and I read it front to back over and over again trying to gain some insight into playing the flute. With every passing moment of every day, I find the flute magical and what a stress reliever it is. Thanks Again for a GREAT JOB WELL DONE!

Hey John,

My flute came in today! I really appreciate the super fast customer support and shipping!  The flute is simply amazing.  Your craftsmanship is top-notch, This flute looks incredible (and it's true, your choice in walnut surely has character). I cannot believe how incredibly intuitive this instrument is to play.  I have tried a few wind instruments before without much luck and have primarily kept to strings.  I read through the supplied pamphlet before I started playing, and the info you provide is all you need to start making music!  I've never played anything that so easily expresses what is flowing within.  It sounds amazing, you can really feel the flute resonate, almost within yourself.  The tonal quality is superb throughout the volume range which I absolutely love (having come from needing to crank the tunes on the guitar rig to get "sweet spot).  I am completely blown away (pun intended) and I look forward to taking this flute on many adventures down the road. 

 Thank you John and keep doing great things!
