This flute is just stunning visually. And, like all my Stellar Flutes, beautiful and so much fun to play! Alder is one of my favorite woods!
I am nearly brand new at the NA flute except that I have always been drawn to its sound. I have several CD's, that are close to wearing out. After buying a gift flute for my son and hearing him play, I decided to have a go at it myself.
I did buy that first flute from a different supplier because the deal was too good, but it is not a traditional style flute with its glued on, whistle style, sound hole cap.
I wanted a traditional styled flute in a lower key. I thoroughly perused the Stellar web site and chose from the in-stock flutes the key of G. It arrived quickly, well packaged, with a helpful start-up booklet and purchased flute bag.
I like it very much. It was a bit too airy sounding at first but with close attention to my inexperienced playing techniques, improvements were made and the tone is very pleasing and relaxing to me.
I discovered that part of the airy sound was due to small beads of the sealer coating on the cutting edge of the sound hole. After consulting with the internet I realized that I could fix that and I did, with a small file. After tweaking the edge the airy sound is less prominent but I like what is left over. The softness of the
tone is just right for me.
I am a habitual fixer and DIYer so I did not mind at all that I had to work on the flute a bit. I also love, all, new learning experiences. I'm sure that Stellar Flutes would have fixed the situation had I asked but I can't help myself when a new fixing opportunity presents itself, voided warranty or not.
Stellar Flutes, I see, as a good choice.
Stellar Flutes create lovely flutes. My low C Redwood has been a joy to learn to play.
Ordering/receiving this flute was a simple process.
I believe Stellar flutes makes this a more beautiful world, and my Redwood C is a great example.
Their wonderful tutorials and customer service hit it out of the park! I have learned soo much. Keep up the good work! Love you guys!
Beautiful craftsmanship and sound. Quickly shipped. Highly recommend.
Knotty Basic Flute key of G - Natural Heartwood Cedar
Love the beginner flute I purchased! It arrived quickly and came with a nice booklet to get me started.
The website also has many resources to help me progress.
If you're considering purchasing a flute, look no further than Stellar Flutes!
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!!!
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).
Very happy with the flute i purchased. will be buying more product in the future. Arrived sooner than expected and I love the video presentations. Very informative!
Superb beginner’s flute
Lovely instrument, excellent service and she seems to really like the horse totem.... she swapped it in even before finishing it off. The flute has a mesmerizing sound. thank you.
I had recently bought a pre-made finished flute from Stellar and it is Beautiful. The attention to detail follows their name! I then decided to purchase a kit because I love building things and also wanted to put my own touches into my flute and build it with my own Energy and Love…
It was an amazing experience to say the least. The wood when I finally got to the sanding had beautiful grain underneath and it just came out after following all of the directions from Lily. Super happy with it and it sounds awesome of course. Bought the F# for the lower voice and all is well.
Thank you to the entire crew at Stellar for all that they do !
I love this little flute! Besides being beautiful in its simplicity and beautifully crafted, it is easy and fun to play! I plan on buying more of these “basic” flutes even though I already have quite a few of the premier flutes. Highly recommend for beginner and experienced players alike! Thank you Stellar Flutes for another great flute!
So…Where do I start. This piece is outstanding. I have nothing to compare it to but with all of the research that I have done I landed on the Stellar brand and I am so glad that I did. So much so that I almost immediately ordered another one which was the pre-tuned kit which just arrived today. Can’t wait to start shaping this bad boy and also shaping the Wolf block! 😜
The original one that I have shows outstanding workmanship and attention to detail.
Thank you Lily and also your entire team which played a part in all of this.
Cheers!

I am very pleased with my new flute from Stellar. From the beginning it exceeded my expectation with the appearance and workmanship. As I've played it the sound is beautiful and even makes me sound good!
My thanks to the team at Stellar for this beautiful product at an affordable price! I sincerely hope that others have the opportunity to experience these wonderful instruments!
Bought 3, 2 F# & a G. They are very clear. Just finish a F# for my mom for Christmas. Bird block with tear drop Garnet gemstones. Turned out Beautiful! I'll be back for many more, Thanks
My flute looks even better in person than it did on the website. I love it! I've never played a flute before, but I was able to make some sound immediately. Since it's the holidays I'm teaching myself to play Silent Night. Almost got it after just a few days! Highly recommend this flute.
Beautiful piece of musical craftmanship, and the sound is sweet and marvellous too.
Had been eyeing these Native American Flutes out for a few years now. Finally bit the bullet and purchased one. Beautiful wood instrument in Pentatonic scale, easy to play and I leave it in a handy place so I can pick it up anytime and try new rhythms as soon as they pop into my head. More melodic and soothing than playing the pentatonic on the guitar and I have some wind chimes tuned to the key of G also. Love the sound.
