Stellar Flutes Native American Style Cedar Beginner Flute Kit - Small Hand Friendly with Instruction Book & Carry Bag | Perfect for Meditation, Music Therapy & Cultural Learning

Stellar Basic Native American Style A Flute With Black Polar Fleece Flute Bag And Instruction Book (Natural Heartwood Cedar) Native American Style A Flute With Black Polar Fleece Flute Bag The Basic A flute is a wonderful key for any level of flute player. It is the best choice of the three keys we offer for someone with small or inflexible hands. It is small enough that most people can comfortably play it. It has a bright and cheerful voice. If you are not sure about fit, send me a message and I will help you choose the correct size. This flute has a higher pitched, cheerful and sweet voice (once you get past the squeaking faze of learning!). In the picture of three flutes together, it is the size of the one in on the left. Our Basic A flutes are made from unstained western red cedar and come in a wide range of warm gold and brown colors. The color of the wood may vary from the photos. All of our Basic flutes are made from the highest quality western red cedar. This is a softwood, which means that it is light in weight giving the instrument a resonance (subtle vibration) that you can feel in your hands as you play. It is a highly sought after wood for flutes for this reason. Please keep in mind that it may take some time and practice to play the flute as smoothly as I do in the video, but with the resources included in the flute package, and patience from the player (and their house mates and pets) you will learn to play just as beautifully. The scale this flute features is easy to learn and lends itself to improvising (making up free style music). You don’t need to read sheet music to learn this instrument and you don’t need any prior experience with music to learn to play the flute. This is a six hole Native American style flute tuned to 440hz, universal concert tuning. It features a removable block to allow for easy condensation removal and proper drying after playing. It comes with a handmade, black polar fleece flute bag with a durable nylon shoulder strap and a leather drawstring closure. What's Included: One Native American style flute in the key of AOne Black Polar Fleece Flute BagInstructional booklet with fingering chartQuick Start Flyer with Video Tutorial Link Choosing the right flute Pictured you will see our three keys of Basic flute. As flutes move down in pitch they get bigger and the fingering holes get further apart and further down on the flute body. This means the lower flutes are harder to play. The key of A is our smallest and highest pitched of all three basic flutes, it is also the best choice for someone with smaller hands or someone who has limited flexibility. Many Flute classes will request you start with this key. The Key of G is the middle sized Basic flute. It is our most popular key because of its soothing voice. Most people can easily play this key with some practice. The key of F# (F sharp) is our lowest key of Basic flute. This means that it is also the hardest to play. The fingering hole stretch on the F# can be uncomfortable for people with smaller hands or people who have never played an instrument before. Below you will find detailed measurements Measurements for the key of A Total Length 21 1/2 inches Bore Diameter 7/8 inch Hole Spacing Holes are approximately 1" apart center to center Mouth End to First Hole 9 1/2 inches Stellar Flutes - Family Owned and operated since 1995 We are a small family owned business run out of Washington State by father daughter team Tom Stewart and Lily Wilcox.
