Native American Style G Flute, Cedar Beginner Flute Package with Book by Stellar Flutes. Stellar Basic G Flute (Flute Bag Not Included)

This flute arrived a day ahead of schedule. It was packed well and had no dings or scratches. A very good start! Of course, I immediately brought out my smart phone with the instrument tuner. A moderate flow of breath (velocity for midi users) produces a tone that is slightly flat and a firm breath brings it to true. The tone was actually more pure and sweet than I like. I took the bird off and used a dremel to make a shallow furrow along the middle of the bird to create a bit of turbulence and was very satisfied. The finish was standard and adequate. I take my flute out to drum circles and ceremonies so I wanted a bit more. I sanded it down, applied a bit if Mahogany dye and a stupid number of coats of polyurethane.Why five stars when I did so much work on it? Because I like working with wood. It's very zen so I would do it anyways and I do bring my flute to some rough places so I need a bit more protection. All the work I did is a useless gesture if the pipe isn't right and this pipe is right! On this flute, Amazing Grace is, well, amazing. Silk Road is unbelievable... I can get 3 different pentatonic scales and a diatonic scale and I've just started getting acquainted with my new friend. I've had occasion since I bought it to play it in impromptu gatherings and the sound remained true from the base note to the arias. That's the difference between an instrument and a wall decoration. Five stars because this product exceeded my expectations.EDIT 03/2022: Still enjoying this flute immensely. I play it for at least a few minutes every day and it's still my favorite out of the four I own. I live in high desert so I've played this flute in weather from 20 to 110 degrees (fahrenheit) and from 8% to 80% relative humidity and been satisfied every time. I know the science and crafting necessary to achieve that and I'm impressed.

Gorgeous. Smells like fresh cedar. Plays beautifully as far as I can tell. I’m one of those musicians that can pick up most instruments quickly. I’ve been playing piano my entire life; I taught myself to play by ear. I have high hopes that I can learn this quickly however, I did not anticipate learning to play notes by keying half the hole, haha! It will be a fun challenge! I especially love the sound of the lower notes to the point where I may order the lower flute tuning. I have been on a spiritual journey lately and been studying Native American cultures. This flute definitely sounds identical to the flutes in their traditional music, which makes me very happy. It does not disappoint. The wood is gorgeous. The flute was packed and wrapped with love, you can tell this company is genuine and cares. Thank you so much!

I can play very good never play the flute before

Have wanted one of these flutes for years.. I bought one, the basic G flute..Came out of the box ready to play.. Easy to use..Within minutes had a good time listening to the sounds it was making.. The finger holes seem nicely spaced and easy to tell when you cover them with your fingers properly by feel..I am happy with this purchase..

I am not the proud owner of a Native American Style flute. The product is excellent. The price very reasonable and the service very good.

It is a beautiful work of art and plays just as beautifully!

I own a few other flutes and whistles, like an Irish low D, and this one is by far my favorite. Amazing tone, easy to play and beautiful craftsmanship. Just a joy to play.

This instrument is to large for a woman hand....and I don't have a small hand.Then to top it all off the seller charged over $11 to return it.Won't be buying from this place again.
