Hello – Jeff Burris here! I look so forward to returning to the craft of flute making for this remarkable community. Our intention was to downsize living space and possessions and move to this cabin in the woods (with Ocala National Forest at our back door) and build the flute shop thereafter.
Unfortunately, between 1) unexpected gray areas of Marion County building codes and 2) some crooked but prominent Ocala/Silver Springs builders deceiving me about licensing and prices, the existing plans for the flute shop fell through and we're unable to try again, just yet.
Make no mistake, we will not be daunted and are already on a solid detour that will just take some time.
Until then, I will continue to join forces and paint with Tina in the murals business, as I've assisted her in the past. I might work out one-sie and two-sie flutes here and there, but to get serious and consistent again (which brings down prices and puts a fine flute in more hands) I need a shop like before.
We don't do CNC (I tired of CNC's in another career) but I've saved every flute machine, Sterling gun drill, and tool (sans the heavy drill-mill I'll replace) and placed it all faithfully in storage, eager to begin anew ASAP.
Please check back with us, and/or I'll be more vocal on flute media again when we fire back up.
Thanks for stopping by! – Jeff Dismiss
