In 97 I made Native American flutes. The construction and learning about wind instruments is fun. You have great flutes, I did see the signsture and it looked familuar to me with one I owned in Wa. state area in late 90s. We all know a good start in life is with musical instruments. A carrier is good to pay all the needs of oneself. Withput the burdon of those who would steal my stellar flute.

With dry hands you never get the holes closed. Use some hand cream or white wool-wax to give your fingers more grip and a better touch and feeling for the holes. You will see it does wonders.

We don't , but you can put something over that hole and it will basically be a 5 hole flute, then when you are ready to advance to other scales you will have the option to take the cover off. I write about this in a blog post: blog.stellarflutes.com/2018/12/15/why-choose-a-6-hole-native-flute/

Hello! SO glad you like the videos! Yes, we ship everywhere. The cost of shipping is calculated for your location at checkout with a fairly accurate delivery date. I recommend selecting DHL if it is available as it is the fastest and cheapest option usually. The flutes range in price, we have flute making kits for as low as $55, basic flutes for around $130, and the fancier flutes start around $200. Hope that helps! You can find our flutes at stellarflutes.com

I just bought here in Belgium a Stellar flute in the key of G. Signature soundscape by Stellar. Fsharp was sold out. That's for in a couple of weeks. But... What a nice flute.. What a spirit in the flute... The sound is amazing. I loved it from the moment it came out of the box. I play it now every day for about 1.5 hours. Its really peaceful and brings me the sound to calm down my mind after a day of work. The funny part is that the sound of the flute is in my mind. When I drive to a client and pass by some wonderful seeing of nature I hear the sound.. Thank you for all the nice videos with lessons and other stuff of the flute from Stellar.

It means that the scale starts and ends with the key of F#. It is like when you are playing on a piano and you play all the notes from on F# key up to the next F# key, many notes are in between.

If you are playing solo it doesn't really matter. If you want to play with someone, you have several different options, one of which is playing in the same key like in this video. You should choose a flute that sounds good to you. The lower flutes are harder to play so in that case you might have to start with a key you can reach the holes on and advance to lower keys.

Well I finally got myself a flute, I'm in England so I had to find a maker in my country. Eventually I got one, in low E, made of Douglas Fir, and it is a fantastic instrument. I play other woodwind instruments so I could pretty much jump right in and play it, and its so relaxing to do so, its a very soothing, freeing instrument. And with it I pay homage to those natives that created these instruments.

Nice sound and beautifully made. I'm not familiar at all with pentatonic scale though I've built many pan flutes, (Syrinx) which as far as I know are always diatonic, even the So Amer ones. What is your most popular key? In contrast, any pan flute can play in any key with the right embroshure control, as the sound of each pipe can be "bent" about a half tone, up or down. Hearing your music makes me think that, though from vastly different origins, the NA flute would pair nicely with a hang drum or hand pan.

Thank you for the comment at 12:00 about giving credit to the Native American cultures of the U.S. for giving humanity this wonderful instrument. Cultural appropriation, and profiting from it, is very common these days. But that doesn't make it any less depraved. Let us please keep in mind the many nations that used to inhabit this land long before any of us got here. Let us work so that their sacrifice and heritage is properly honored and remembered.

So true! We do not make Native art because we are not Native.

The pentatonic minor scale is thought to be a traditional scale for the Native American flute. To play the pentatonic scale you leave the third hole down covered , but you can also play a diatonic scale and many other scales using that hole. We tell people to start with the pentatonic scale because it's very easy to play harmonious music. Our flutes come with a booklet that shows how to play all the notes and encourages people to advance their flute playing by learning other scales.
