FLUTES: Native American flutes are instruments of music, ceremony, entertainment, courtship and love. Some Navajo medicine men say a girl will find irresistible the boy who plays the flute for her. Most traditional Navajo flutes were made from sunflower stalk; today the flutes are evolving into a medium of artistic expression that uses a variety of materials. Jonah Thompson (Navajo) makes all of our flutes. The standard Native American Flute is the A Minor which we stock in pine with many different animal totems and stained in three different colors. We also carry a smaller D Minor, also in pine with many different animal totems and stained in three different colors. Jonah also makes our cedar flutes which are in F Sharp, G Minor and E Minor. As well as a double-chamber, or drone flute, which has one chamber that is a constant tone much like an organ. The other chamber is a standard flute which is available in either F Sharp or A Minor. The cedar flutes are richer in sound than the pine and are becoming the most popular flutes in our line.

Flute Care: Flutes, both pine and cedar, need to be maintained and the totem and leather strapping adjusted for sound quality. There are many books on flute care.
