Jim Phelan started making flutes in 1976 for a venerable Boston firm. He published the first edition of The Complete Guide to the Flute in 1980. That book is now in its second edition and sixth printing. He left the flutemaking world in 1989 and spent six years working in high-tech and the medical instrument industry as a mechanical engineer. In 1996 he joined his wife, Lillian Burkart, to make the Burkart flute. Even so, they are still happily married.
