Oregon Flute Store Catalog > Native American Style Flutes > Tu Trees Flutes by Ted Calavan Tu Trees Flutes by Ted Calavan
After sharing my flutes with my brother Ted in 1993 he became, like most of us, obsessed with creating his version of the perfect flute. Ted loves tradition and strives for perfection. He collects antique tools and built his own lathe out of an old trundle sewing machine. He still does most of his work by hand and I consider Ted one of the best carvers that I have ever met.
His carvings always capture the spirit of life. In 2004 Ted moved his family to Newport, Oregon, were he works for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and creates flutes with the sounds of the ocean ringing in his ears. They love their new home, but having lived in the forests of the Cascade Mountains for several years he laughed when he told me that his new home only has two trees. Thus the name! |
"As you know, I have several flute cases from Laughing Mallard at the Oregon Flute Store. Over the years they have proven to be an essential part of what we do, protecting my flutes on the road at over 200 concerts. A few months ago, we were fortunate enough to get your new “Migrator” case and have used it now for over a dozen appearances. From when I first picked the case up, it’s light weight and extra durability are obvious benefits to any flute enthusiast and it is just the right size for larger flutes or any combination.
I just wanted to say thank you for creating such a useful tool that will keep my flute family safe and sound!”
