I can say without reservation that John Stillwell makes some of the best-sounding and most beautiful Native American-style flutes I have ever seen and played. Impeccably and reverently crafted works of playable art. Seemingly made with a deep knowledge of and respect for the materials from which they are constructed and the tools used to shape them. I deeply cherish the two that I own. Thank you, John, and now, Grayson. Beautiful to see the craft being passed from master to apprentice in the traditional way.
