This flute is made out of bright pink piece of eastern aromatic cedar. This is a medium weight softwood. It has a silky smooth feeling and the dense soft wood lends a resonant quality to the voice. It has a lovely subtle cedar smell that comes through the finish. The wood is a rich red pink color with hints of yellow and purple. Truly beautiful to look at.

Flutes in the key of D are more difficult to play than some of the higher pitched keys and are better suited for people with some flute playing experience or people with experience playing other instruments. The reason for this is that they have a larger overall length and the spacing of the fingering holes is quite big. We do cluster the finger holes in groups of three, but the lower three holes are spread far apart and could be difficult for some hand sizes to play. If you are drawn to the sound of this key but are worried it may be too big, you can try a smaller key such as F or E and work your way down to the D. The stretch feels much more manageable once your fingers get used to playing the flute and as you play larger and larger flutes you will gain dexterity and flexibility in the fingers.

This flute is a 6 hole Native American style flute tuned to the universal standard 440hz tuning which in non musical terms means that it will be compatible with most other instruments. This flute features a pentatonic minor scale but with the guidance of the included fingering chart and some practice, you can learn to play many other scales.

Measurements

The low D is about 26 inches long with a 1 1/8 inch bore diameter. It’s about 11 ¼ inches from the mouth end to the middle of the first fingering hole, and the fingering holes are 1 ¼ inches apart from center to center but are clustered in groups of three to make them easier to play. There is a nearly a 2 inch gap between the top three holes and the bottom three holes.

Is This The Right Flute For Me?

Native American style flutes in the key of low D

Stellar is the BEST!

I have loved EVERY quality flute I have purchased from Stellar Flutes—probably 50 or more over the past 25 years—and the flutes are always in perfect tuning and made with intention. Lily and the crew expedite shipping and make the ordering process seamless. Stellar Flutes offers amazing inventory at a more than fair price. Don’t hesitate ordering if you are on the fence. You will be glad you did!!!

Walnut Premiere NAsF Dm flute

I've been playing for just under a year (started in Mar, 2024). With this purchase, my collection now totals nine flutes from five different makers (two from Stellar). This Walnut Dm is my favorite of the bunch. My previous favorite was my other Stellar, an F# basic. What I'm saying is that Stellar makes a good flute. Even their basic flutes are better than other makers premium flutes. I don't think you could go wrong with a Stellar flute. They play like a dream. I'll be back for another when I see one that lights me up (I'm hoping they build another C bass flute in myrtle).

D Minor 440 Hz in Cherry

The Flute is really well made and the support I got from Lilly is awesome. The holes are little bit farther apart for me but , still reachable and that challenge also makes me ready for bigger bass flutes. I'm happy so far. Also, wish they had different fetish that would make it a bit exotic. The bird works fine..
