Christian Flute Maker

I don't remember how I chanced upon this website, but it was only tonight that I went through it in detail and discovered the story behind this extraordinary flute maker. His name is Erik Sampson, and he is a Christian who is using his flute-making skills to be a blessing to others.


Erik had a tumultuous youth and went through a lot of confusion and rough times in his quest for truth until the day God led him to Himself. He later found his calling in life, which was to make flutes for the glory of God and to be a blessing to others. Today he not only makes flutes, but is actively involved in mission work. Check out his testimony!

Erik makes flutes of a wide range of variety - from Arabian flutes to Oriental Shakuhachi, from Egyptian flutes to walking stick flutes - all from bamboo. His flutes sound great (check out the sound clips on his site) and he takes a lot of care creating them, sometimes making several to get one that works well. You can check them out at his shop. He also makes saxophones, Irish whistles and panpipes.

To top things off, there's a parable on his website that uses his process of flute-making as an analogy for the Christian life.
