Allan will discuss the significance of this instrument, explain the legend of the courting flute, and will demonstrate the personal touch he provides to his handmade flutes. Participants will encounter a variety of flutes, examine their construction, and listen to the soothing sounds of these beautiful instruments. A limited selection of Allan’s flutes will be available for purchase.  Already have a flute? Feel free to bring it along!
