Although I do often use a power saw to cut the bamboo and a drill press to make starter holes so that the burning rods don't slip, I do the vast majority of work by hand. I don't have anything against power equipment, it is just that each piece of bamboo I work with is different and I am unable to set up any sort of "production" system. Since each piece of bamboo is different I price each flute individually. The price is based primarily on the amount of work I put into the flute and the availability of the size and type of bamboo used. I am focusing primarily on root end bamboo flutes. The average price for a root end bamboo flute is $250.00. The price range of root end flutes that I have made thusfar has been from $200.00 to $450.00. I occasionally make non-root end flutes and they are usually priced between $75.00 and $150.00.

GUARANTEES:

Satisfaction Guarantee:
I offer a complete no questions asked money back guarantee (less shipping and handling costs) for flutes returned within seven days of purchase provided the flute is returned in the same condition in which it was shipped.

Damage Guarantee:
I also offer a lifetime guarantee (as long as I am alive and physically capable) for a complete replacement with similar value flute, or repair to your satisfaction, for any flute that is damaged in anyway other than gross negligence. For this lifetime replacement/repair guarantee the original flute (or parts thereof) must be returned to me and I reserve the right to limit the number of times.........after the first time........that I will make such repair/replacement.

LOSS GUARANTEE:
Well maybe. Tell me about it and who knows maybe I will go for it. I have done stranger things!
