A list of my favorite Native American [style] Flute makers and other flute resources.

When buying a flute, it's important to note that shorter flutes (G, A, B, C5) have a higher pitch and are well suited for players with small hands. Longer flutes (B, C4, D, E) have a lower pitch. The flute can be made of different woods, but is often made of Eastern Red Cedar which is light weight, water resistant, very fragrant, and has a warm tone.
