Heartwood Cedar Native American Style G Flute Package with Book and Flute Bag by Stellar Flutes

The shipping was faster than advertised but that may be because I live in the next state over from the seller. The flute is nice but I honestly cannot compare it to anything else as it's my first flute. Out of many options I decided to go with Stellar Flutes because of their reputation and I wanted an actual instrument instead of a toy. The tuning is on point. I tested all keys upon arrival with my synth and piano and it plays in harmony with other flutes in the same G key I found on YouTube to play along with. Extremely easy to learn to play. Granted I play keyboard and a guitar but this is my first ever experience with a wind instrument and I was able to get the basics down within minutes of practice. The booklet that came with it was very informative to get the basics down. Couple of critical remarks: 1) The case that comes with it is nice but is overpriced (adds $20 to the order) and it's not very protective as it's soft. You can probably find a better case for it here on Amazon for about the same amount. 2) The block and the leather strap that holds the block down are nice but I would make it easier to adjust with a moving knot at the bottom as some other (even cheaper) makers do. After playing for just a few minutes the condensation builds up which affects the sound and you need to "clear" the flute. After looking into it I learned that this is normal with all Native flutes. However, the fact that you need to untie the strap to remove the block to dry it takes time and wiggling around to tie it back on and re-adjust it into place which is awkward and takes getting used to. Having a knot tie at the bottom for quick release and reposition would make this a lot easier and quicker considering that you need to "blow" the moisture out rather frequently. I must say though that the leather strap tie for the block is very good and holds the block in place with just one simple knot without loosening. Overall I am happy with this flute. I can tell it's a quality instrument and not a toy. The sound is very pleasant and there's just something about playing it. The whole experience sort of envelops you in some "zen" mode. I've had it for almost a month and have been playing it everyday since i got it. It is a pleasure to play. If you're considering buying a flute then you can't go wrong with this one.

If you’re looking for a flute, this is the place to go! I ordered one for my husband and he wanted an “F” flute, but somehow we got the “G” flute. So I reached out to the seller hoping they could remedy the situation and my experience with their customer service was stellar (no pun intended, lol). What a wonderful experience, which is not a common thing to say these days. They were so kind, understanding and made the situation right by sending the correct flute. The quality of the flute is exceptional. My husband has never played the flute before, but recently took an interest, so he’d done his research and decided on one from this seller. They even enclose a little booklet on getting started and honestly, I couldn’t believe it was my husband playing the flute! It was amazing! The texture and color of the flute is just beautiful and the sound is authentic, crisp and clean. Great products are so exciting to come by and team that up with great customer service equals a total win-win!

I love this Flute. It looks even better in person. I just received it yesterday afternoon. It came earlier then I expected. At first I was worried because the end of the box was dented on the bottom. When I opened the box it was packed very carefully with lots of paper all around the box filing up all of the empty spaces. It was inside the bag which also probably helped it to be safe. I have never played a flute before but every so often I have my fingers covering the holes perfectly and I will get a couple of really nice sounding notes. I am 80 years old and I love all kinds of music. I find that Lily’s videos are helping me a lot in understanding what my Flute should sound like and also how to put my fingers in the correct way on the holes. I also found a video showing me how to make sure the Block is straight and in the right place. The Block came off yesterday and I was nervous for a few minutes until I found Lily’s video on how to put it on and I knew I bought my first Flute from the right company. They seem to really care that their customers have all the help that they need in order to learn to play the flute and enjoy the beautiful music that it makes. If I could I would give them 10 stars for the quality of the flute, the care that they used in wrapping it and shipping it and for the videos that help us to better understand how to play the flute so that we can create our own songs.

I was so stunned that this was so beautiful, I gasped when I opened it! The craftsmanship is truly stellar, pun intended. The sound, when I can make it without squeaking and squalling 😂, is rich and mellow. I can’t tell you how thrilled I am with this purchase.

This is my first flute and I absolutely love it! The sound is deep and rich, beautiful craftsmanship, and super light. There are many different sellers out there, but what made me decide on this one was the lovely background info on the father-daughter team that makes them. Loved that story and that it was made in the USA. Support small businesses!

I read all of the reviews before purchasing, and this one seemed the best. Gave it to my boyfriend for his birthday and he was thrilled. Sound is clear, strong and sweet if you understand know to adjust the wooden, leather strapped air hole at the top of the "keys". Note: this is NOT a clarinet or a metal flute, it has a distinctive earthy wind sound. Watch/listen to a video on traditional Native American flute to see/hear what you are ordering. The flute is also beautiful, well made with a nice finish and carrying case. I would definitely buy it again.
