Why we partnered with Jonny
My philosophy as the owner of Stellar Flutes is to provide not only musician quality flutes, but also all the resources a person needs to be a successful flute player. I believe that as a teacher it is important to be clear, concise, and simple! It has always been important to Stellar, and to me personally, that we are in no way encroaching on Native culture, and we don’t impose a religious or spiritual meaning onto our customers, but rather allow each person to experience the flute in their own way. Stellar chose to partner with Jonny, not only because he is a long time friend of our family, but because we believe his teaching style aligned with our core values. He is honest, clear, and kind, and his lessons are beautifully made and easy to follow.

Pre-Bored Flute Making Kit
Basic Flute Key of G
I bought this flute to play it at my mom's celebration of life and release ceremony at Mt. Rainier, Washington. I hoped to learn to play a few notes of a simple song in about 6 weeks. So far, I practice a little bit each day and I am making good progress. My hands are small but I can reach all the holes. It really helps to practice in front of the mirror so you can see your finger placement. It's all about using the right breath and covering the holes well. When that happens the flute sounds beautiful. Just like I hoped it would. It's going to be a beautiful ceremony with the lovely sounds of this flute.

Healing tool! I love it!
The flute itself is absolutely gorgeous. It’s very very very well-made and feels so soothing to the touch. The act of playing: I have to start by saying I’m not very good. I have a chronic disease that caused my hands to
Not be very coordinated so the act of playing is actually helping me regain coordination in a beautiful, pleasurable way. This flute has been such a great tool for soothing daily exercise. This was such a great purchase!
