Premiere - Native American Style F# Flute (F Sharp)
Our Premiere model Native American style flute in the key of F# have a low and soothing voice. They are a great key for any level of flute player. The fingering hole stretch is a little longer than the G or A flute so this key may not be well suited for someone with small or inflexible hands.
Immerse Yourself in the Deep and Meditative Sound of the F Sharp Flute
Our Premiere Native American F# (the # symbol represents a Sharp sign in musical notation) flute is tuned to the pentatonic minor scale in the key of F# which means the highest and lowest notes on this flute will play the key of F# (not including overblow notes). These are medium sized flutes measuring 24 inches long (60.96 CM) . This is the lowest key I recommend for beginner flute players. It has a larger finger stretch, especially on the bottom three holes, than our G and A flutes. This key of flute is suitable for most adults with large or flexible hands. Adults who have played other instruments are usually successful playing flutes in this key because of their improved dexterity. Flutes in the key of F# are lower in pitch than the key of G flutes. I find that many people are drawn to the lower sounding flutes. The F# flute has a soothing and low voice.
Tip: If you love the way this key sound, but are worried it may be too big for your hands, you can start with a key of G and work down to the key of F# once your hands are used to the finger stretch.

In the chart below you will see three scales that you can play on a six hole Native American style key of F# flute.
If you play every note pictured, you will be playing one octave and three notes of the “chromatic scale”. This scale takes a lot pf practice and we usually recommend you learn other scales first. This is all the notes your flute will play. The top three notes are achieved by blowing much harder and some flutes will not play the highest note pictured. The notes of the chromatic scale in the key of F# are: F#,G, G#, A, A#, B C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#
The shaded columns represent one octave of the “pentatonic minor scale”, this is the most common scale you hear people use for the Native flute. It is the easiest scale to play and the one we suggest you start with. These notes sound good in any order. The notes of the pentatonic minor scale in the key of F# are: F#,A,B,C#,E,F#
The columns with a * above them represent one octave of the “diatonic major scale”. This scale takes a little more work to memorize, but it is very useful for playing popular music. The notes of the diatonic major scale in the key of F# are: F#,G#,A#,B,D#,F,F#

After purchasing an F# flute, two weeks later, I purchased an "A" in Oregon Ash. When I heard the lowest note, I could not believe the deep timber and vibrancy! Unlike other flutes, I could produce sound with lots of air and not have to consider my breath control as much. This is a testament to the amazing attention Stellar gives to each instrument. Thank you for making my playing experience, "Stellar"!
I was looking around for a flute and came across Stellar Flutes from YouTube reviews and Reddit forums. I gotta say, I’m really pleased by the quality and transparency these craftspeople represent. The pricing of the basic Cedar flute I got was right in my budget. I appreciated the demo videos and the personal touches in presentation, product, and shipping. Highly recommended!
Beautiful instrument with a sweet voice, thanks for the quality item.
Excellent made flute. Love it! Only thing is I got it in the key of g though and wished I had purchased one that was in a lower tone. It’s my first ever flute and that’s my only regret. The craftsmanship is beautiful
Thanks: Just picked up the flute from the PO; the UPS drive rcame when no one was home.
