dg Hatch

Dennis 'dg' Hatch
Chippewa Native American Flute Maker

Dennis ‘dg’ Hatch a Chippewa (Anishinaabeg) Artist, is a Flute Maker, Sculptor and Information Technology professional.  A woodworker for over 30 years, he has been passionate about making the Native American Flute for over 20 years.  He currently lives on the Central Coast of Oregon.   His flute company is named, ‘Native Flute’, although many people refer to his flutes simply as “dgHatch Flutes” due to how he signs them.

In the fabrication of his Woodland flutes he carves on wood, antler, mammoth and stone.  He primarily builds flutes using his solid bore method.  And his unique flute designs may include inlays, end-caps, and a variety of materials for style, functionality and tonal quality.

“It's all about the sound”, he says, and finds it interesting that a seemingly simple instrument like the Native flute, has so many material and design factors that affect the ultimate sound quality and performance.  So unique are the individual Flute Makers that he compares their flutes not to their signature, but their fingerprint.

One of the great things about the Native flute, is the pentatonic scale, which means all the notes are arranged to sound good together.  It is his sincere belief, that through the Native Flute, each individual can go to that peaceful place where they can create wonderful things in their lives.
