Inspired by the mountains, the music and the beauty of the Great Pacific Northwest, Vance Pennington (English born of Cherokee Native American blood) has devoted his life to the creation, preservation, promotion and playing of Native American and Native American style flutes.
From his home and 'Burning Tree Flute Studio' in the foothills of the Oregon Coast Range, USA, Vance proudly yet humbly creates a range of beautifully hand crafted Native American flutes which are inspired by his passion for perfection.
Each Native American Flute is meticulously hand crafted, concert tuned and decorated utilizing skills of craftmanship, patience and total dedication for the continued development of these magnificent instruments- thus sharing the gift that has been bestowed upon him by the Creator.
Known for their outstanding museum quality and craftsmanship these fine Native American flutes are enjoyed by all levels of professional flute players, recording artists and novices, throughout the world, all of whom find their hauntingly beautiful sound quality and easy playability far beyond other Native American (Style) flutes available today.
As an International Native American Flute Maker, Vance's creations have found homes in the Americas, Europe, the Far East and across the Globe.
"It is my belief that Grandfather (the Creator) has bestowed upon me a magnificent and extraordinary gift for creating Native American Flutes. I am truly honored and accept his gift with humility. As a ful-time flute maker, I feel I need to share this gift with anyone who has an interest in making or playing these wonderful instruments. To this end, I offer advice to anyone who is seeking this knowledge, in the hope that one day I can look back on my life and rest in comfort knowing that I may have helped in the preservation and continuance of this most wonderful and unique instrument, the Native American flute."
