Odell Borg founded High Spirits Flutes in 1990 in the then quaint town of Solana Beach, Southern California. These Native Flutes are crafted from a solid piece of the finest cedar, walnut, birch and other fine domestic plantation-grown woods or recycled lumber. They’re finished with a specially formulated non-toxic oil that protects and seals each flute giving it a warm, clear voice.
According to Odell, “From day one I have taken great pride in upholding the MADE IN THE USA tradition of craftsmanship. We are committed to being green-minded and using non-toxic materials.
The Native Flute came into Odell Borg’s life when he received one as a Christmas gift in 1988. He had never played an instrument before, and as he soon discovered that he enjoyed playing the flute. He says, “It quickly became my close and comforting friend.”
The inspiration to create a flute came in 1990 while he was going through a very difficult time in his life. A good friend reminded Odell that he had always been a craftsman and encouraged him to explore making the flute, since the instrument brought him so peace and comfort. This idea struck a chord with him.
Every High Spirit Flutes’ flute comes with a How-To-Play Instructional DVD and Booklet to help people of all musical skill levels learn how to successfully play. High Spirit Flutes also sells a variety of Native Flute accessories including flute bags, cases, stands, song books, Native Flute CD projects, as well as more advanced Native Flute instructional materials.
