It takes Jonathon Landell about 200 hours, from start to
finish, to make a flute. In his Richmond,
Vermont workshop, which originally served
as his family's garage, he makes flutes by hand-- and he teaches others both
how to build and how to play the wind instrument. Most of the instruments Landell makes for flutists are made of silver, but they
can also be made of gold or titanium. We
visited him in his workshop as he was working on one of his standard silver
models.
