I began to make some baroque flutes in 1989 as I was still working in the branch of industry.
Today, I am working full time for my flutes.
I live and work in France in Corrèze department, near the town of Brive, in a very nice living environment.
I propose several baroque flutes, or traverso, which enable to play the baroque music, with their different styles and which show a part of the instrumental making of that area.
In my work, I am looking for the sound particularity of the instrument and for the musical individuality of each baroque flute that I am making thanks to the original instrument that I consider as a very important source.
I work in a traditional way, paying attention to the musician and listening to his comments.
On top of this baroque flute production, I also make some quenas (or kenas). This flute, with a notch, is the most traditional flute in the Andes.
I propose some traditional quenas that are hand-crafted from bamboos and other woods that I make with the experience I have from the baroque flute making.
I wish you a lot of pleasure on this website that is only a shop window and could appear as "cold". Do not hesitate to try out my instruments, they will tell you what my passions are.
After you have bought one of my flutes, you can be sure that I will be listening to any question, and I will remain available to advise you whenever you deem necessary.

My flute's stamp :
From August 2008, my baroque flutes, like my wood quenas, are stamped with a Basque cross, in relation to my surname's origin, and that I had already used in a simplified form. This cross, often registered in a circle, made of four commas or "heads" (lamburu in basque language), is a pre-indo-European solar symbol, called "swastika", word Sanskrit meaning "who is good" or "to be à good omen", that we can see in ancient civilizations since the Neolithic period, and a symbolic system in the Buddhist world. The initial form consisted of four ibexes turning around a circle.
See here a Web page (Fernando Coimbra) showing wastikas from Neolithic period to todays.
