This flute is made from a piece of Redwood that was reclaimed from a deconstructed bridge. The bridge was over 100 years old and the wood is even older. Redwood is a lightweight softwood. This gives the flute a resonance you can feel as you play. It should be protected as it will dent easily. It is light weight for such a large flute and has a smooth feeling finish.
This flute is 28 1/4 inches long with a 1 1/4 inch bore diameter. It's 12 inches from the mouth end to the center of the first fingering hole. The fingering holes are clustered in sets of three to make them easier to play, with the first set being spaced 1 inch apart center to center and the second set being 1 3/8 inches apart center to center. there is a 2 inch gap between the first cluster of holes and the second.

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!
