ABOUT US

The Babel Flute was an International Flute Magazine & Community, available in any language and created by flutists from all over the world.

It featured magazine, forum, job/collaboration board, store, calendar, and quizzes and games.



In March 2024, the final 11th edition was published, marking the magazine’s three-year anniversary. Following this milestone, the founders announced the conclusion of the project. Since then, Yulia Berry has generously maintained The Babel Flute website to ensure continued access to its rich and unique content.

In August 2024 Yulia Berry released a new, more advanced, and free global platform - Flute Almanac .
