This flute is made from a bright white piece of curly maple. It is hard to truly capture the beauty of this wood because it is so white that it tends to overexpose the photos. It has a lovely shimmering tiger stripe grain pattern. It is a hard and durable wood with a silky smooth finish and a nice substantial feeling weight.
The low D is about 26 inches long with a 1 1/8 inch bore diameter. It’s about 11 ¼ inches from the mouth end to the middle of the first fingering hole, and the fingering holes are 1 ¼ inches apart from center to center but are clustered in groups of three to make them easier to play. There is a nearly a 2 inch gap between the top three holes and the bottom three holes.
Native American style flutes in the key of low D
Native American style flutes in the key of D have a very deep and resonant voice. They are larger around then out E flutes, with a 1 1/8 inch bore diameter. The fingering holes are clustered in groups of three to make them easier to play, but this key of flute is still better suited for someone with some flute playing experience.

This is my first flute and I’m having a blast. Its very light weight and the sounds are ethereal.
Thank you very much for such an awesome flute. I'm very new to using a Native American flute, only about 4 weeks into it. I originally bought an inexpensive flute to see if I wanted to take it up and then after some time and a lot of research I decided to buy a Stellar flute. I absolutely made the right decision. A short learning curve and a little practice everyday is working very well for me. I now find myself perusing the other Stellar flutes that are available in different keys. I believe this is a dangerous slippery slope haha. Thank you again!
I’m new to the Native American style flute, but do have some music background. I am impressed with the beautiful tone of the Basic flute, key of A and its simple but elegant look. My very experienced flute instructor gave me her seal of approval and said she would add Stellar flutes to her list of sources for good quality flutes.
The kit came quickly and thanks to the available videos I was able to finish it relatively quickly. The flute looks and sounds great. Now it's just up to me to learn how to play being that it's my first flute.
Love this cute little flute. It sounds like a happy little bird!
