Although Phil's passing in 2017 left a void, his legacy lives on through Red Kite Flutes. Louise, Phil's wife, and Andy Shaw stand as custodians of his vision, supported by a crucial group within the Red Kite Family. Each flute is expertly crafted to maintain the high standards set by Phil. Louise, a pivotal figure in refining the flutes since the early years, teams up with Andy Shaw, bringing his own expert craftsmanship to the mix.

At Red Kite Flutes, sustainability takes center stage. The team passionately embraces the ethos of locally sourcing timbers and diligently tracing each flute back to its origin. The commitment extends to wood recycling, with a heartfelt dedication to repurposing materials whenever possible. The result is not just a flute; it's a piece of art with a story, a harmonious blend of craftsmanship and care that continues to enchant music enthusiasts like us.
