Hello Everyone, Some may know me from my days as White Eisenstein (we won a Hoku and played for years at the Moana and Halekulani). I have been away in Europe for the past 2 years and now I am home. I would like to get your opinion on using the panflute in Hawaiian music. I know it has never been done before. Here is a musical experiment, I posted an MP3 for you to listen to. I hope to introduce the panflute to our Islands. Forms of the panflute have been known in Polynesia for centuries. http://panflute.net/aloha/ Aloha - Brad White Pan-Flute.Com |

Hi Brad. Remember me? I sent for a pan flute the tenor one--but I would like some more music and CD's. I love the sound and am working on it. but don't know about the little black things inside to change the note. "The Sharps and Flats? Maybe I should have gotten the regular one. Thanks, Jean P.

| Brad I am the one that wondered about the Low notes being on the left you explained it tome --but I was on kevins Website where he stated that you would make a flute with the lows on the left which I would prefer-- I Think I would Want your Tenor Model but does the inst. book only have Melodic Sounds rather than popular songs with words -Like "Beyond the reef or Hawaiian Wedding Song" or Blue Hawaii--South of the Border etc. Please send me price list I misplaced it I am a uke player so I dig your Idea of playingIsland music on your Pans----------------------------------------oldjc |

| I have a flute that looks like a panpipe and has one row of 8 tubes. It's made of metal. Does anybody know what this instrument is and where I can learn about it? Thanks. |

| hawaiian people did not play this instrument, but something similar. i play it all the time, the ihu hano ohe or the nose flute. remember, hawaii had no nmore migrations past about 800 ad, so the imnfluences dies out and became t=what is now hawaii. to introduce an instrument that is not a traditional hawaiian instrument, well, it will be hard for people like me to accept, for things such as a kahiko performance, say. but look at the ukulele and the steel guitar and the regular guitar, the base, ect. however, this is a matter of correctness for me. i make these flutes and every day i have to compete with imported flutes form asia that u blow with your mouth. i keep having to correct everyone, because the sellers of these instruments say they are hawauiiian. i keep saying no hawaiians blew with the nose, the breath from the nose is pure the breath from the mouth unclean. this is why hawaiians bump noses rather than kiss this is a foreign beleif to kiss. so please be careful with how things are presented. mahalo punohu and aloha |
