Meet our Natural Heartwood Cedar Native American Style F Sharp Flute 

This is a Native American style F sharp 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.

This is the lowest sounding and largest of the three keys of Basic flute we offer. Though they might take a little more practice for beginners, the low and soothing voice of these flutes keeps people hooked. This flute is a wonderful next step for those who have worked with the key of G flute already. Many people with larger hands  can play these flutes with some practice. They are also a great choice for people who play other instruments that require finger stretching like the piano, guitar, or clarinet.

The Stellar Basic F# flute (that hashtag is actually a Sharp symbol in musical notation)  is tuned to feature the pentatonic minor scale. This is the most common tuning for modern  Native American flutes to be tuned to. This scale is wonderful for those who claim to be “non musical” (That isn’t; a real thing! You just haven’t found the right instrument!) because it sounds good almost any way you play it! This allows the flute player to zone out and play in an unstructured way. Native American flutes are categorized by a unique two chamber design with a piece that is tied on top of the flute to channel the air. This design makes them much easier to play than other kinds of flute. Our flutes are tuned to the universal standard 440hz concert tuning which means that they are compatible with most other instruments.

Measurements

This flute is 24 inches long with a 7/8 inch bore. The fingering holes are (from center to center) approximately 1 1/8 inch apart. The distance from the mouth end of the flute to the first finger hole is approximately 10 ¾ inches.

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.
