The Observation Tower

My Photo
I am a retired pathologist with a wife and two grown children. I love getting out and about with my camera. Sharing my photographs by blogging is way better than having them just sit in my computer (or as prints under the bed).

Trip to a Flute Maker's Studio

A few weeks ago we went to Chris Abell's Custom Flute workshop in Asheville. He makes professional grade flutes (of the type his wife, the musician Kate Steinbeck uses). Chris explained the process, the differences of sound with different materials and the life of wood.

The workshop beckons to a day gone by when things were actually handcrafted with knowledge and TLC.
