Oregon Flute Store Catalog > Native American Style Flutes > River Cane and Solid Bore Flutes by James Gilliland River Cane and Solid Bore Flutes by James Gilliland
James R. Gilliland, a Native American artist and flute maker for 15 + years from the hills of North Alabama retired from the Space Shuttle Program. He uses his engineering skills and Native American heart to create a flute that sings. One of his river cane flutes played on the International Space Station in 2002, and is now on display in the Smithsonian National Native American Museum in Washington, DC. He was also commissioned by Dr. Kathleen Joyce-Grendahl in 2004 to make the River Cane Flutes for the movie, The New World. James is a registered Native American of Cherokee/Creek heritage. He is passing on his cultural tradition of flute making to his grandchildren, Wayne, Wesley and Melissa who work with him. |

"As you know, I have several flute cases from Laughing Mallard at the Oregon Flute Store. Over the years they have proven to be an essential part of what we do, protecting my flutes on the road at over 200 concerts. A few months ago, we were fortunate enough to get your new “Migrator” case and have used it now for over a dozen appearances. From when I first picked the case up, it’s light weight and extra durability are obvious benefits to any flute enthusiast and it is just the right size for larger flutes or any combination.
I just wanted to say thank you for creating such a useful tool that will keep my flute family safe and sound!”
~Jan Michael Looking Wolf, Instructor of Native Flute History at Oregon State University
