Michael worked as a finisher for Powell flutes for 5 years. Michael decided to start his own flute making operation producing the Phoenix Flute and the Geoghegan Flute from 1980 to 1984. Taking a break from the flute industry for years to pursue other talents, Michael felt inspired to return and innovate some more. After years of research and experimentation, the first headjoint was unveiled in 2009. Since then, Michael has continued to push limits and boundaries in the pursuit of helping flutists produce the best sound with the least amount of effort so that they can focus on expression, musicality and performance.
