Testimonials

As a performing and recording Native flute artist, Old World Flutes are my first choice for sound quality and playability. In my 40+ years as a professional flute player and collector, I found OWF craftsmanship, consistency and clarity to be unsurpassed. Carl has made over 20 flutes for me and I now perform on stage and record in the studio exclusively with Old World Flutes. I give OWF my whole-hearted recommendation for any player who wants great sound, beautiful workmanship and a wonderful flute experience!

I had a custom F minor Native American style flute made by Carl Young of Old world Flutes a little over a year ago and has been an asset to my flute collection that I travel with. I take only the flutes that I need and I never leave without this flute. This flute has a smooth and perfect pitch that resonates with my music. Carl has a wonderful gift of flute making that gives this world a better and peaceful voice that’s sorely needed. Thank you Carl!

The flutes I have played and own form Carl are amazing. I always look for good craftsmanship, wood choice and tone of the flutes I buy and Carl makes a good flute. Carl is a great guy to work with and has a lot of passion for what he does. Thanks my friend!

"As a lover of all things flute, I am a purveyor, performer, and instructor, I am proud to say my go to flute, Rambler, was made by Carl. Custom made of apple wood its finish is impeccable,it feels wonderful in the hand, and the sound is beyond any other flute in my collection. Carl is now working on making me a full range of keys in apple wood and special drones for my shop. He has restored a wonderful aged flute that came into my possession, Carl will always be my go to flute maker."
