is proud to bring you hand carved traditional
Miqmaq flutes made by artist
David Sanipass
 My name is David
Sanipass. I am Miqmaq (today known as Micmac). I have been making and playing Native
American Style flutes for about 30 years. My Grandfather taught me how to carve flutes at
the age of nine. As a child, I would sit with him for hours to watch and ask questions
about the art of flute carving. It can take from 5 to 20 hours to carve a flute. I harvest
all the wood and make many of the tools myself. I do not use any power machinery. I use
mostly lightning struck white cedar. Once the cedar tree is struck by lightning, the wood
crystalizes. It is this result that gives the finished flute a unique sound and tone. I
also make a "sweetgrass" flute (displayed here). This is traditionally a
Grandmother's or woman's flute. While this flute is played, the player as well as the
listener is soothed by the light fragrance of "sweetgrass" with each note.If you have any questions concerning me or my work, please contact Wild Wind Creations, or write to me at this address; Davis Sanipass P.O. Box 75 Gouldsboro, ME 04607 If you would like further information on my flutes or my upcoming CD please feel free to contact me as above or email me at micmacflute@mfx.net
