Casey Burns: Carrying Traditional Wind Instruments Forward

The world would be a drab, dull place without music – that's a fact that everyone would agree with. For as long as history has shown, music has been an enormous part of human life, from the rudimentary wood and stone instruments of the ancient cultures to the more sophisticated range of instruments now made available by technology. In whatever time and in whatever form, music has never and will never cease to inspire, encourage and move human kind.

This premise is something that Casey Burns has lived up to. A maker of classical wind instruments for over 20 years, Casey Burns has crafted more than 2,000 flutes, bagpipes and other reed instruments of excellent, unwavering quality. A flute player himself since 1961, Burns' workmanship has been focused on the simple wooden folk flutes used mostly in Irish and Celtic music: a slender, three-piece flute capable of making haunting melodies the music of Ireland and Scotland are famous for. Casey Burns has made his mark in the world of musical instrument manufacturing due to his innovations in flute ergonomics, where he found an easier way for people to play reed instruments without compromising the quality of sound. His hard work has resulted in a line of Casey's Ergonomic and Small-Handed flutes, well-known to be the choice of musical artists who are physically-challenged.

Casey Burns sells flutes for beginners and advanced players alike. His flutes have been products of years of thorough research, with improvements made in balance, intonation, tone and grip comfort in his latest series of flutes. Each flute is carefully hand-crafted by Burns himself, giving each musical instrument a uniqueness, and the instrument gains character and depth as it is used over a number of years. Casey Burns flutes are well-prized and have been a consistent favorite among musicians all over the world, both amateur and professional.
