Knotty Cedar Beginner Native American Style A Flute - Western Red Cedar

Meet the Knotty Cedar Native American Style A Flute Love the looks of our beginner Native American style A flute, but want something a little more unique? Our Knotty flutes are perfect fit for you! These beauties each feature unique and interesting knots and no two are alike! Made of the same high quality western red cedar as or other beginner flutes, each of these flutes are strikingly different! You can scroll through the pictures to see some examples of what the knots might look like, but you will not see your specially selected flute until it arrives. It’s like a little surprise! These knots are stabilized, sometimes have bold, filled cracks through them, and usually make the surrounding grain swirl in interesting ways. In the past these unique flutes would all be made into Premieres because knots make the flutes more difficult to shape, but we decide to release some as beginner flutes as well. Inventory is limited, so hurry and buy one before they are gone! The Basic A is our smallest of the three keys of “Basic” model flutes we offer. This makes it a wonderful choice for beginners and especially good for someone who has smaller hands. This flute is the highest sounding of the three Basic flutes. It has a bright and cheerful voice that will lift your mood. Many of our customers find that when they spend time playing their flutes it improves their hand dexterity. This is why we offer these three keys as an entry into the world of Native American style flute playing. Start small and advance to the lower keys as your hands become used to playing! The Stellar Basic A flute is a Native American style flute, which means it has a two chamber design with a piece (we call the block) that sits on top to channel the air. Like many modern Native American flutes , our flutes are tuned to feature the pentatonic minor scale. This flute is tuned to the key of A which means that the lowest note plays the key of A. These flutes are tuned to the universal standard 440hz tuning which means they are compatible with most other instruments. That all might sound pretty confusing if you are new to music, but rest assured, you don’t really need to know any of that to enjoy your flute. You don’t need to read music either. Your flute will come with a handy fingering chart with pictures of what holes to cover. They are very beginner friendly.
