Ordering Flutes

Custom Orders:

Since what I make is so rare, and every instrument a unique piece, I welcome you to visit my workshop and small showroom in Ghent, Belgium. This way you can see, feel, and hear, and maybe find your match.

My shop can be found at Halfweg 29 9000 Gent in Belgium, and is open from 10:00 - 20:00 CET Monday to Saturday.

If this is not possible for you, then you can get in touch with me to see what I have in stock at the moment or you can place an online order.

I ship internationally.

Please contact me for price indications of the instrument(s) you have in mind.

I also perform, record, lecture and work with people at irregular times, making strict workshop schedules thus exact time estimates impractical. In return for your trust, understanding and patience I always offer the best I can make, to everyone.

After placing your order you will receive a video when I get to your name on my waitinglist and have an instrument in stock that represents the specifications of your order.

You are then free to decide if you like what you hear and see and if you want to buy this instrument, or want to wait for the next one.

I don’t ask for advance payments.

This is how I work, and what works for me as a person and ensures the quality I stand for.

When you ‘play’ music, making instruments should be ‘play’ too :))

Interest list:

Besides placing a custom order you can also choose to be added to a 'general interest' list by simply sending me your e-mail address. By doing this you will Get a notification when a random flute fro my stock becomes available on my website.

Sometimes I wake up and I feel the urge to start making a Fujara, a Kaval or other flute. I mostly take the freedom to make these besides the custom order list because it's my joy and passion, and I think it is important to allow this for both myself and the instruments. This way they exist because they wanted to be made themselves. These will be the instruments offered here. 

This page is not live on my site at the moment, but I hope to activate it as soon as possible.

Of course you can be removed of this list at any time by clicking 'unsubscribe' on the e-mail.

“A natural and sincere speaker, Winne holds his audiences spellbound with his compelling story of how he sought out very specific resource people, artisans, and craftsman and despite language barriers and trekking through a variety of Northern European countries, he eventually found the teachings and tools he desired to create each individual and wonderful instrument he now creates.Winne also provided a fascinating demonstration of how he makes his flutes.We were so impressed by Winne’s passion for his work and the respect and beauty with which he creates each instrument. Winne is also very approachable and helpful with providing guidance in playing them!”

“It was such an incredible experience to listen to Winne Clement perform and speak. The way he made a personal connection with all of us through his stories was something very unique in a college conservatory. Also, his perspective on performing, that communicating what you feel and speaking directly to the audience is more important than being technically correct, is contrary to what many of us are taught. His visit was very special and rewarding, and something I’m so glad I had the chance to be apart of.”

“The masterclass was both informative and entertaining. It was the perfect mixture of lecture and hands-on learning. Being able to build and play the flutes only enhanced the experience.
You are a fantastic musician as well as teacher.”

“It was so great to learn about Winne Clement and his craft. I feel lucky to have had the chance to meet someone who is so passionate about what he does. It was even more amazing to get a glimpse of what he does by building a flute under his guidance. He definitely has given me a new perspective on music and what it means to be a musician. Thank you for sharing your time and talent with us!”
