My name is Geoffrey Ellis, and I am an artist living in Humboldt County, California. I am very fortunate to live in a truly inspiring place. My home is in the redwood forest on a ridge that looks out over the Pacific Ocean. I work full-time at making flutes in a setting that really supports me in giving my attention to my craft with few distractions.
My flute making journey began with the making of a contemporary interpretation of the "love flute" or "courting flute" of the indigenous North Americans.
It has been a tremendous journey, and I devoted countless hours to this craft and made thousands of flutes along the way. I gradually expanded my knowledge, gaining the consistency and quality of workmanship that makes Earth Tone Flutes among the finest quality flutes available anywhere.
Over the years, my craft has expanded to encompass the creating of various types of World Flutes, such as the Quena, the Xiao, Bansuri, Irish flutes, Pueblo-style flutes like the Anasazi and Mojave 6, as well as some of my own "fusion flutes".
Each Earth Tone Flute is a precision tuned, concert quality instrument, made with love and enthusiasm. I consider it a privilege to create these beautiful flutes, and it is my wish that some of the joy that I experience in making them will live in each one that I sell. It is also my wish that you will find as much pleasure in playing your flute as I found in mine, thereby giving it the greatest blessing that it can receive.
