This flute is made out of a dark, chocolate brown piece of American black walnut. This hard and durable wood will not dent or break easily. It has a lovely subtle grain pattern which feels nice to the touch. It’s less glassy smooth than a wood like cherry or maple as the small black flecks in the grain remain after varnishing. Listen to the video to hear the flute being played. Scroll through the carousel of photos to find the video.
Each of these flutes will have a fancy low profile block that I have chosen to compliment the colors and character of the wood. The block might be a little different than what is pictured, but rest assured i will choose one that i think complements your unique flute best.
This flute is tuned to a Hijaz scale which has a Hebrew or middle eastern sound to it. This style of flute is more difficult to play than our Native American styles of flute because of the uneven hole spacing and the lowest hole being set much further down on the body of the flute. Some people learn to play this hole with their pinky finger. I prefer to stretch my ring finger to cover it. We don’t’ yet have a dedicated booklet for the Hijaz flutes, but they do come with a finger chart that is specific to this unique scale.
This flute is made from FSC certified wood. FSC certification ensures that products come from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social and economic benefits.

This flute is 22 inches long with a 7/8 inch bore diameter.
It is 10 1/4 inches from the mouth end to the first fingering hole. The hole spacing is irregular on purpose to accommodate the Hijaz scale. The top 5 holes are spaced between 3/4 of an inch and 1 1/8 of an inch apart center to center, the lowest hole is spaced 1 7/8 inches apart from the rest of the holes making it easier to play with the pinky finger.
Is This The Right Flute For Me?
Is This The Right Flute For Me?
These unique and beautiful flutes are a little more difficult to play than a Native American style flute because they have an irregular fingering hole size and spacing. The lowest hole is set much further down on the body of the flute and might be easier for people to reach with the pinky finger. Once you get used to this awkward reach, the flute plays as easily as a Native American style flute.

Robert Harris I purchased the Hijaz scale flute in the key of A, and I absolutely love it. The hemlock wood produces a light, warm, and beautifully resonant tone. I also appreciate the bore size, which provides just the right amount of back pressure while still allowing me to push plenty of air through the instrument with ease. The flute feels both responsive and expressive to play. Thank you, Stellar Flutes, for the professionalism, craftsmanship, and thoughtfulness you put into your instruments. It truly shows in the quality of your work.

Rick Blumberg I purchased many Native American style flutes from Stellar and decided it was time to try something more exotic. The Walnut Hijaz flute in "A" challenges me because the fingering is quite different. The sound is haunting and exotic! It's like playing Middle Eastern music and waiting for a snake to start dancing! Thank you Stellar, for making this perfect addition to my flute collection!
