Meet the Natural Heartwood Cedar Native American Style A Flute

This is a Native American style A flute made of western red cedar. This wood can vary in color from lovely golds into deep rich red browns.  Our natural heartwood cedar flutes are made from the same wood as our iron stained cedar flutes, they are only different in appearance. Both colors of Basic flute have the same careful tuning and voicing as our more expensive flutes.

The Basic A is our smallest of the three keys of “Basic” model flutes we offer. This makes it a wonderful choice for beginners and especially good for someone who has smaller hands. 

This flute is the highest sounding of the three Basic flutes. It has a bright and cheerful voice that will lift your mood. 
Many of our customers find that when they spend time playing their flutes it improves their hand dexterity. This is why we offer these three keys as an entry into the world of Native American style flute playing. Start small and advance to the lower keys as your hands become used to playing!

The Stellar Basic A flute is a Native American style flute, which means it has a two chamber design with a piece (we call the block) that sits on top to channel the air. Like many modern Native American flutes , our flutes are tuned to feature the pentatonic minor scale. This flute is tuned to the key of A which means that the lowest note plays the key of A. These flutes are tuned to the universal standard 440hz tuning which means they are compatible with most other instruments. That all might sound pretty confusing if you are new to music, but rest assured, you don’t really need to know any of that to enjoy your flute. You don’t need to read music either. Your flute will come with a handy fingering chart with pictures of what holes to cover. They are very beginner friendly.

Measurements

This flute is about 21 ½ inches long, 9 ½ inches from the mouth end to first hole, and the holes are 1 inch apart center to center.

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.
