A Very Special Wood

Learn About Western Red Cedar

All of the flutes in this picture are made from the same wood, western red cedar. This is the wood that all of our beginner flutes and many of our Premiere flutes are made from. The “heartwood” flutes are made from unstained cedar meaning that we have only applied varnish and no color altering stains or paints to the flute. The “iron stained” flutes on the other hand do have a natural vinegar and steel wool stain applied which reacts with the tannins in the wood to darken the flute to an opaque black color.


We love western red cedar not only for it’s cultural significance, but also for the wonderful warmth and resonance the wood brings to the voice of each flute regardless of color or stain.


Here in the PNW the western red cedar tree is considered sacred. Our indigenous peoples use it for everything from weaving baskets to making canoes. To honor this special wood, not a single piece of our cedar scrap or dust is thrown in the landfill. We use even the small pieces for our blocks, to heat our homes, and to mulch our gardens.

I'm very happy with my steller flutes. I like how easy it is to play. The simple yet elegant design pleases me as well. They remind me of Steve Tornbombs Songbringer Flutes from the 90's, but without all that back pressure.

I'm a very happy customer and intend to purchase more.

This is all new to me and I savor the moments with my flute! My intention is to learn a little more about this beautiful instrument of peace and joy thru practice- even for a short time- every day. My flute is easy to play and teaches me thru its sounds. Whether practicing a new technique, free-lancing to relax or as a prelude to meditation- the flute and the spirit it brings forth are my teachers.

Perfect Flute For A Friend

I have a friend who underwent lung surgery and required rehabilitation to improve her breathing capacity. Since I play the Native American Flute, I thought it would be both therapeutic and enjoyable to gift her one. Now, she’s learning to play the instrument while simultaneously strengthening her lungs. Stellar played a crucial role in helping me select the ideal flute. I want to express my gratitude to Lily and Stellar for their genuine interest in each customer and for providing exceptional service.

Great flute for beginner

I did buy a painter flute SOL key. I thought it was with some defect instead it is almost perfect (only a little scratch - i did look for it 30 min with a magnifier ! ) . The sound is great for me and i've a great time trying (unsuccessfully) to play some simple italian song. The shipping was fast (1 week to arrive here (Italia) ). I'm very happy satisfied about this instrument.
best regards. (sorry for my skill on English language ... I'm an old man)

Wonderful craftsmanship and tones

I am thoroughly enjoying my Stellar cedar Native American G Flute. Improvising little tunes on this lovely instrument has been a real pleasure. While my violins are being neglected for the moment, the G flute adds another dimension to my music education with fingering exercises as well as enhancing my pitch awareness. Thanks for the opportunity to be inspired me. Ray

Beautiful sounding instrument! I cannot find anything that would cause me to give it less than 5 stars!
