About the Portal

The Flute Portal is the brain-child of Geoffrey Ellis and Jeff Ball — the fruit of many conversations that began with "Wouldn't it be cool if...". We felt that the potential of the internet — its amazing value as a place for people to share and interact — had not yet been fully realized when it came to World Flutes.

This site is always growing and adapting to meet the needs of the flute community. As people contribute to the site and we work out the bugs, we hope it will become what it was intended to be: A gift to our flute community and a place where everyone can come to learn and have fun!
