Last summer I told Julia, "I am going to reinvent the way Woodsounds makes flutes." This has been accomplished in spades and I could not be more pleased.
One of the biggest changes made is in how we voice flutes. This new technique improves the tonal quality of all of our flutes. They are smoother and fuller than ever.
Additionally, I have altered some of the critical measurements on our flutes and I am holding the flutes to a much higher tolerance than every.
All these changes have allowed for a higher rate of comments to my wife like, "Oh my goodness Julia! You have got to hear this flute! I can hardly believe the sound we are getting." Yup. This conversation happens a lot in our house in 2024.
During this last year, I have focused on bringing our flute backlog down. When I started Woodsounds, I always wanted a 4 to 6 week delivery on a Custom Flute. We are not quite there yet, but we are within 8 to 10 weeks. Julia and I are thrilled that this is the current case.
In March, I began taking photos of flutes while they are in the process of creation. This is now being done for every flute we make here at Woodsounds. These images are shared the client(s) while the flute(s) is being made. An, of course, we share these images on our social media platforms.
Julia and I thank each of you for your continued support and love. We are so grateful to you all for the music you make with the instruments we have created. We are thrilled to be a small part of the joy you bring to the world.
