The first when it shipped to me, I was eagerly waiting for that first blow. And the first sound relaxed me completely since I figured its not a cheap plastic toy :) I recorded a Travis Terry tune on it too. Sharing the link for anyone else who might consider buying the PF series Hey Jason,

I'm not only the happy owner of two PF's but I own Ken Lights silver edition of the Waterspirit F# cedar flute as well as several of Odell Borgs flutes including his F3 Golden Eagle. First let me say that for about $130.00 you have four outstanding flutes in the most popular tunings (F#m and Gm) and you have both of them in the car at all times in a nice small package and you don't have to worry about temperature or breakage. I not only own flutes made by Ken and Odell, but I have made over 40 flutes myself and none of them sounds better than the PF's. Regarding the octave note being a little sharp your correct yet many of the best made cedar flutes are also sharp on the octive base note regardless of the fingering. I find that you can play that note to its correct tuning by either over blowing or under blowing, but that octive note use as a thrill note and being sharp it sounds great! I have had other flute players play their cedar flutes one tone at a time while I play the PF right along with them and you can't almost can't tell that two flutes are playing, that's how good the PF"s sound. I like the PF's because you can play them above the 7 basic pentatonic scale with ease! I think everyone who is interested is taking up the nA flute should start with purchasing the Ken Light PF flute and I also have no affiliation with Amon Olorin Flutes By Ken Light.
