"I think Jay’s flutes have something that can sometimes get lost in modern flute making. They play like the best antiques I’ve played, with all the richness and color of tone those instruments have. As a maker, he’s got a great understanding of the different approaches that can be taken to playing the flute, which I expect will make him responsive to the needs of his individual customers as far as embouchure cut and voicing goes.”  -Will Woodson
