Meet our Pre Tuned Native American style F sharp flute making kit.
This is a beginner to intermediate level carving kit tuned to the key of F Sharp. This is the largest and lowest key of the three flute carving kits we offer.
The kit includes a unshaped, fully playable, western red cedar F Sharp flute, a flat block base, a larger carving block, a leather strap, and a booklet with instructions for making and playing the flute. The flute kit has been expertly tuned and voiced. It features the pentatonic minor scale in the key of F#. The finger hole spacing makes this key our most advanced of the three flute carving kits. It is best suited to someone with large hands or prior flute playing experience.
The two include blocks both have the precisely routed groove in the bottom. The small flat block base is ideal for gluing objects to. Consider attaching a carving, a small piece of driftwood, a gemstone, or a small sculpture to this block to adorn your new flute!
The larger carving block is shaped in such a way that it will not impede the air flow of the block and it is large enough that you can carve many interesting things out of it.

Flute Totem Carving Block - Unfinished Animal Cutouts with 7/16ths Groove
$10.00
Shipping calculated at checkout.
Looking for a way to gussy up your flute? Our unfinished flute blocks are the perfect accessory for the woodworking enthusiast! These animal shaped flute totems are unfinished, rough shapes, with the groove in the bottom milled and sealed. Get your carving tools! These blocks need to be shaped, sanded, and varnished!
Add extra details by wood burning, painting, staining, and inlaying stones into these cutouts. We’ve done the precise groove milling, so these are ready for your creativity to take flight!
The groove in these blocks milled to a 7/16ths inch width which is perfect for all three of our flutes making kits as well as any Premiere or Beginner flute in the keys of A, G, F#, F, E. You can double check with me before purchasing or measure your existing flute to make sure the width of the sound hole matches the 7/16” wide groove in these blocks. Some stellar flutes in D, C, and B will also use this size of block, but it is best to ask before buying!
When sold separately these blocks will come with a piece of leather for tying the block on, when added to a kit order, they only come with extra leather upon request since the kits already come with leather.

Jeffrey This was a fun F# project that I would recommend to all flute enthusiasts. Make it your own and worry not about the outcome. Stellar flutes offers this added dimension to your flute journey in an affordable and well instructed way. Their videos are stellar! I'll be ordering another one soon.

Customer Todd Got the kit for my 86 year old dad to fool with, actually I ordered him another one because he really enjoyed working it down. This first one once he's done I'm keeping, the next one I told him do whatever you want to it .....he's got lots of ideas

JD As a non-native flute player but competent musician I took advisory warnings against playing outside the key of G with salt, thinking how hard can it be. Its very hard if your just trying to wing it. So I'm going to purchase a G flute and see how that goes.

Daniel I love the flute kit, im still designing it but its a great piece of art.

Duane J Thien I was in the market for a couple of new flutes to work on and when I saw the Pre-tuned flutes on sale, I couldn't pass them up so I ordered one of each; A,F# & G. I haven't had the time to get working on finishing them yet but I have several other flutes from you all, some kits and some complete flutes to use. I always enjoy my Stellar flutes and they are always great to play. Hope you all have a wonderful and Blessed Christmas season.

Veronika Mikalova I ordered a premade kit and I am very excited to shape it into beautiful flute. Thank you. Love the sound

John Ford I have been having a blast working on my F# flute. The quality of the wood used to make these is spot on. I definitely recommend Stellar flutes.

Michael I have bought both pre tuned and basic split 1:/2 kits from stellar along with extra fetish blanks for other projects. All of their products exceed my expectations. I will continue buying from them. I highly recommend them. “Yakookay” Thank you

Sheena Plays easily, I liked being able to customize the shape and finish of the flute, and not have to worry about the fine tuning and making it playable.

Tracey Wonderful kits and "stellar" customer service! Will be back for more!

Edward McNamara This is my second flute from Stellar Flutes. The first flute was a finished and in G minor. My G minor flute plays excellent and all my questions at the time and this time were answered promptly and politely. I am excited to finish the F # minor flute I ordered but more importantly it feels good to know that if I have any questions they will be addressed. I am hoping that this flute will sound as good as my first Stellar flute. It's nice to deal with a company that places the interest and satsifaction of their customers first.

David Anderson Out of the box perfect! I have owned many acoustic guitars, starting with a student guitar. That process provided many disapointments. I was indeed aprehensive about buying a flute via the internet. You did not disapoint me. My flute was made of clear straight grained cedar. The sound was very clear and tuned "dead on" also. I hope my finishing work will do justice to your work. Happy New Year.

MICHAEL SPERRY I just received my Stellar F# the pre tuned flute kit. This is the second flute I have ordered with the first one being in the key of G. The sound of these flutes is amazing. Both flutes were perfectly tuned when I received them. I have never played a flute before and cannot believe how easy it was to start playing. Lily does a great job of demonstrating all of the flutes and her video lesson help you get started right away. Shaping the flute and putting my own designs on them was easy and a lot of fun.

Bradly Hove excellent voice and speedy delivery. the service is great they even took the time to picking out matching wood color senses I was building a drone out of two kits one pre bored and one pre tuned kit. It turned out fantastic. the folks at Steller are the best.

no name Easy to follow and so rewarding to make your own flute. I have never done any woodworking, nor am I a 'handy' kind of person, but am very satisfied with this kit, along with the great service and fast international shipping.

Joseph Yeatman I enjoyed shaping, finishing, and adorning this flute with malachite cabochons. It now has a nice sound, but I did have to more than just shaping and finishing. The sound hole was poorly shaped due to the 2 halves not being mated up closely. Quite a bit of filling and filing solved this. And there was 'hanging chad' wood fibers in the SAC, and a roughly drilled air passage from the mouth to the SAC. The folks at a local flute circle helped me diagnose the untidy sound in the highest to tones. It was not particularly easy to clean these 2 items up. Final result - I was disappointed with the level of care put into the kit, but overcame it and now have a nice looking, very nice sounding flute. The Stellar site implies that the pre-tuned kits get the same careful construction (at least regarding the sound-producing bits) as the finished flutes. I don't think this is the case. I have a Stellar Premier E, and it's bore, air passage, SAC, and all holes are all much cleaner.

Andre Couillonneur I recently purchased some flute kits for a workshop for employees that lasted for four days and they all really enjoyed learning how to make flutes and I also taught them how to play as well.
