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.

Hello Stellar,
I have decided in retirement to start my Native American flute playing journey as a meditative self-care after my career as Corrections Officer here in Shelton...
I was researching Jonah Thompson and High Spirits beginner flutes when a comparison video by Jonny Lipford showed a Stellar Heartwood ceder basic model... When Jonny stated manufactured in Shelton Washington... I WAS SOLD! Started consuming Stellar videos...
I'm very excited! Purchased the Heartwood Red Cedar beginner model and love it!
However, I just noticed on your website you have rough animal totems for blocks - GRIZZLY BEAR ordered! In addition, I purchased a Salmon Totum and during sanding on my vertical belt sander I wacked half the tail off... I ended up shaping into a low profile block and mounted a piece of Petrified Wood on my flute...
My Grizzly Bear Totem turned out excellent.
I really enjoy all Stellar's videos!
Keep up the amazing job! Waiting for a PREMIUM Carmel brown hardwood with a lot of gnarly knots in the grain... flute in F# or maybe another Gm... When I upgrade... maybe 🤔 next tax return... hahaha 😎
Thank you, Mike Ames

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.

The flute is such a great wood craft, the way the mouth is tapered is what draws my interest the most. It’s very unique compared to other flutes in the way stellar flute mouthpieces are made, they really don’t ever seem to wet out which is why I love them for that. As well as the simple look they carry is something I like too. The tone is amazing.

The flute is beautiful and so is its sound. Thank you for the video, too. I am starting a beginning flute class this Friday and the video gave me a head start.

I am very happy with my purchase which means I now can make beautiful music with my wooden flute. I am happy with how easy and quick my purchase was to obtain with the fast shipping and delivery. The wooden flute is well crafted. As soon as it arrived, I started my training. Thank you for this beautiful work if art.

I’ve loved listening to meditation flute music and decided I wanted to learn how to play. This will be my first instrument of any kind. I’m already able to play some songs I think sound nice. It’s exciting! The flute is quite beautiful, obviously very well made. Very happy with my Native American flute.

Received my flute a few days earlier than expected, which was awesome.
Its beautiful and sounds amazing! All the information that comes with it, as well as the links to even more info via videos is just top notch.
10/10 recommend, this was a wonderful experience.

It's harder than I thought! I will be taking advantage of your tutorials very soon. And thanks for telling me to take the block off to dry the space below. Even without playing it for long, the humidity caused some formation of "crud" to start .

Great flute! I am so happy with it. I am a beginner and this flute is perfect. I love the sound!

The flute is surprisingly beautiful!
And it has a rich tone. Finger holes are not too large for someone with smaller hands. Very enjoyable to play! I started with a different brand and Stellar beats it hands down. Wish I had tried Stellar first! Just a well made flute by an awesome team! It arrived in record time too.

Only had for few days and I'm still learning the keys. I am a beginner, but so far I am enjoying learning.

I'm a beginner and chose the iron-stained basic flute in the key of G for my first flute. The craftsmanship is beautiful and feels good to hold and play. The flute has a lovely sound and is very responsive as well. I recommend getting the polar fleece storage bag with the flute as well. Easy storage and carry, and the the bag is protective. Can't wait to start learning. Thank you Stellar Flutes!

The packaging was very well cared for, and the instrument itself is visually beautiful. Unfortunately, the sound quality has been disappointing. I am not sure whether I am failing to activate it correctly, but I followed all the steps indicated in the instructions, and it does not produce a pleasant or consistent sound.
Additionally, the flute does not include a case. This raises a concern regarding how it is meant to be safely stored or transported, especially considering its delicate nature.
That said, I would like to sincerely thank you for your kindness and excellent follow-up throughout the purchasing process. Your customer service has been truly appreciated.

Very happy with the quality of craftsmanship and tuning of my flute. I admire the skill needed to make something so beautiful. Many thanks!

I wrote a song on this flute called Sparrow Mountain. I’d love to learn more about Bass Flutes.
Maybe I can get one someday. I play both my Stellar glutes every day and it makes me happy

The flute is well made and solid
I appreciate the craftsmanship and iron finish. Will
need a lot of practice to make it sound good something to work on in my senior years.There
are hints of what it can sound like will need to take time to get there.

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!
B
The instrument is lovely as well as the sound quality. I will be practicing so that I am able to consistently play beautiful music in the near future 🤗
