He's a super guy. I play with Keith at the Tucson flute circle meetings once a month and let me tell you, he is great for our group. Keep up the good work.

HE IS A DOER AND NOT JUST A TALKER AND ONCE HE DECIDES ON SOMETHING, IT GETS DONE. HE HAS MENTIONED YOU TO ME SEVERAL TIMES, AND IS ENAMORED WITH YOU AS A PERSON AND ESPECIALLY YOUR MUSIC. I HAVE TO AGREE, IT IS WONDERFUL. I PLAYED AND MADE FLUTES FOR ABOUT SEVEN YEARS AND JUST STARTED TO GET THE FEEL OF IT WHEN A THROAT CANCER OPERATION TOOK THAT AWAY FROM ME. MY WIFE HOWEVER, STILL PLAYS AND NOW HAS 15 FLUTES. WE WERE PRIVILEDGED TO BE ABLE TO GET ONE OF KEITHS.<BR/><BR/> KEITH AND I ARE MUTUAL LANDOWNERS, ALONG WITH OTHERS, OF PARCELS ON A 6000 ACRE ESTATE RANCH BETWEEN TOMBSTONE AND A LITTLE FARM COMMUNITY CALLED ELFRIDA DOWN IN THE SULPHUR SPRINGS VALLEY. OUR PROPERTY SITS HIGH ON TOP OF A 5000 FT. MOUNTAIN AND IS ACROSS FROM A GHOST TOWN CALLED GLEESON. WHILE KEITH LIVES IN TUCSON RIGHT NOW, HE PLANS TO BUILD HERE AND WE WILL SEE MORE OF HIM. HE BUILT FOR MOONSTAR, MY WIFE, A BEAUTIFUL F# FLUTE MADE FROM MESQUITE THAT HE FOUND RIGHT HERE AT THE RANCH. MESQUITE IS VERY HARD AS YOU KNOW AND IS VERY DIFFICULT TO WORK WITH. I DOUBT THAT HE WILL EVER ATTEMPT IT AGAIN AND SHE FEELS VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE IT. IT IS AN EXAMPLE OF KEITHS UNIQUE TALENT AND IT IS A BEAUTIFUL AND EXCELLENT SOUNDING INSTRUMENT. THE WOOD IS DARK AND POLISHED LIKE GLASS. THE SOUND AND QUALITY IS EVERYTHING YOU WOULD EVER EXPECT OUT OF A FINE PIECE OF WORK LIKE THIS. I WOULD ENCOURAGE ANYONE THAT WANTS AN INSTRUMENT THAT WILL TALK TO THE ANCESTORS AND GET AN ANSWER BACK, TO SEEK HIM OUT AND GET ONE OF HIS MASTERPEICES. AHO WYATT!<BR/><BR/> GREYWOLF HOLTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11087337.post-1142902471851795232006-03-20T16:54:00.000-08:002006-03-20T16:54:00.000-08:00Hi Scott, What a great piece on Keith Stanford and...Hi Scott, <BR/>What a great piece on Keith Stanford and his outstanding skills as a Native American Style Flute creator. The audio sampling of your music produced with the rosewood instrument is wonderful and sweet to the ear! <BR/><BR/>It is uncanny and amazing how the quality and soul of an individual is ingested into one's work in life. What you have discovered in this flute is just that.. the quality and soul of its maker.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing the story and also the information about Keith and his gifts given to him by our creator. Play on!<BR/><BR/>D.

First of all what a great guy. I have never met Keith in person, But I fell like I have known him for all my life thats just the way Keith makes you fell. My name is Bob Runningbear Egner and I am a NAF maker, Or at least I am now.<BR/>I started making flutes about one year ago after coming up with a lot of fire wood I found Keith's manual on the net and thought I would give it a try. That was the best move I ever made. The one thing thats sets it apart from others I have seen, Is when you get the manual you get Keith right along with it. He will go out of his way to help you in any way he can. I now am making great flutes that sound and look good. I can't thank Keith enough for the book and the help he has give me. Most of all I thank him for being a good friend <BR/>Bob Runningbear EgnerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
