Play the haunting melodies of Ireland on a Traditional Wooden Flute.
Richard Cox is an Irish craftsman,
living in London, Ontario, who has been making beautiful artifacts from wood for the past twenty five years. He has worked in many areas of woodwork in that time including cabinetmaking, joinery, and millwork, always specializing in solid wood. His interest in musical instrument making started in the 1970’s with a night class with Irish harp maker Jan Muyllaert in Navan, Ireland. This resulted in an ongoing hobby, which saw the production of some classical guitars, mandolins and bouzoukis over a number of years.
Richard built his first woodturning lathe in about 1975, and has been turning since then - everything from bowls to balusters for staircases. All of this experience has now been brought to bear in producing his beautiful wooden flutes, combining his passion for Irish traditional music with his commitment to the highest quality workmanship.
