Western red cedar Native American style D flute– #0524

This beautiful soft wood flute is made of a rich, red brown piece of western red cedar. This is a lightweight flute and care should be taken not to dent it. Because it is light in weight it has a wonderful resonant vibration that you can feel as you play the flute.

 Flutes in the key of D are more difficult to play than some of the higher pitched keys and are better suited for people with some flute playing experience or people with experience playing other instruments. The reason for this is that they have a larger overall length and the spacing of the fingering holes is quite big. We do cluster the finger holes in groups of three, but the lower three holes are spread far apart and could be difficult for some hand sizes to play. If you are drawn to the sound of this key but are worried it may be too big, you can try a smaller key such as F or E and work your way down to the D. The stretch feels much more manageable once your fingers get used to playing the flute and as you play larger and larger flutes you will gain dexterity and flexibility in the fingers.

This flute is a 6 hole Native American style flute tuned to the universal standard 440hz tuning which in non musical terms means that it will be compatible with most other instruments. This flute features a pentatonic minor scale but with the guidance of the included fingering chart and some practice, you can learn to play many other scales.
