Native American Style Flute, Satinwood
Price:
$72.00
The Roosebeck Satinwood Native American Style Flute blends a classic, tonal design with attractive satinwood grain and a hand-finished bird (saddle) block. The flute is composed of two parts: the main pipe and the bird/saddle block. The bird is slidable to make small pitch adjustments — move it forward to slightly sharpen the pitch or backward to flatten it. Because these flutes are crafted to be “in tune with themselves” rather than concert A=440 tuning, they produce a rich, meditative sound ideal for solo playing, personal practice, meditation, and small gatherings.
Note: These flutes are not guaranteed to be concert tuned. Wood color and grain will vary — each instrument is visually unique.
The Native American style flute (also called the Plains flute) has roots in a long indigenous tradition of wooden end-blown flutes used for personal expression, courting, ceremony, and storytelling. Contemporary makers and producers like Roosebeck draw on that tradition to create accessible instruments for modern players — preserving the flute’s soulful sound while using stable woods and simple, player-friendly designs.

Notes & Care
Because this instrument is made from natural wood, avoid extreme humidity or heat. Wipe clean with a dry cloth after use; occasional application of light oil or beeswax to the exterior (per manufacturer guidance) can preserve finish and prevent drying. Do not submerge in water.
