The last time I contacted Gary, he was not, at that time making flutes, and was not sure when he might start again.
Has anyone heard any updates?
From what I have read, I understand he makes a great small hole-narrow bore flute.
I have not seen or heard one "in the flesh". There are not many flutes in this part of Northern Ontario (Canada) to see, hear, or try out. A couple of friends have fantastic flutes but way out of my price range.
Regards to all

Re: Somers Flutes
You could try asking over at https://www.irishflutestore.com/. They've stocked Somers and might know a timeline, if you can't get in touch with the maker.

Re: Somers Flutes
If you're not totally fixated on a Sommers, there's a Sweet Shannon on the Used Instruments forum for a great price. (I have nothing to do with the sale nor do I know the seller). But I have played Walt's flutes and they play very well.
Best wishes.

Re: Somers Flutes
To avoid any confusion that might arise from this thread, I am still around but not in a position to supply flutes in a short time span just now and am reluctant to estimate waiting times which could also vary. All perfectly normal and all is well.
