We can use a different type of wood for the end caps of your flute. We can add rings of a different type of wood to your flute. See the wood grain closeups below. Be creative, this is your flute. Typically woods that go together contrast each other in both Color and Grain Pattern.
Re: Grain Pattern
Choose a wood with a busy grain pattern for the body of the flute and a wood with a solid grain pattern for the end caps. Such as: Padauk for the body and Ebony for the end caps.
Re: Color Complements
Choose woods that complement each other. Such as: Cherry and Walnut.

His Note To Us
Jerry & Lisa,
Thanks for crafting such a beautiful flute for me. Not only was it very reasonably priced and delivered well ahead of schedule, it's just as I'd conceived it, and it is a work of art! It'll certainly be displayed proudly and, someday, I may even be able to play it as well as it deserves to be played.

Just as importantly, after all our time on the phone, Jerry, I feel like I've acquired a friend as well as a flute.

Thanks again.
Bruce

Complement flutes are flutes that are tuned to different keys. These keys harmonize with each other easily. Such as: A & E, D & G etc...

By purchasing a pair of complement flutes, you and a friend can make beautiful music together with ease. They don't have to be made from the same type of wood like the pair in the picture.

Hi Lisa:
We wanted to let you know that we just got the flute. I just wanted to thank you and your husband for making the most beautiful flute that I have ever seen for me. I can not tell you how excited I am to get it! I am soooooo grateful! I will think of you both every time I play it. It is even more beautiful than the picture. You are extremely talented people! Thank you so much. Scott just took a picture so we could send it to you.
