Traditionally Made 5-Hole Native American Style Flutes

​

Our Traditionally Made 5-Hole Native American Style Flutes represent what many believe to be the heart of the Native American flute tradition. Simple, elegant, and expressive, instruments of this general design have been played for generations and remain one of the easiest and most rewarding instruments to learn.

If you are already familiar with the modern 6-hole Native American style flute, you'll feel right at home with a 5-hole flute. The fingering system is virtually identical, making the transition easy for experienced players. In fact, our 5-hole flutes play the same number of notes as most modern 6-hole flutes while eliminating the extra hole that many players rarely use.

For beginners, the 5-hole flute is often the perfect starting point. Its intuitive design allows new players to begin making beautiful music almost immediately, even without prior musical experience. Many people are surprised by how quickly they can create relaxing melodies and expressive songs on an instrument that is both historically significant and incredibly approachable.

Each flute includes a fingering chart, and additional learning resources are available throughout our website and YouTube channel. Whether you're interested in traditional flute music, meditation, relaxation, songwriting, or simply exploring a new instrument, the 5-hole Native American style flute offers an enjoyable and rewarding experience.

If you're looking for a beautiful, haunting voice, traditional character, and an instrument that is easy to learn yet capable of lifelong musical growth, our Traditionally Made 5-Hole Native American Style Flutes may be exactly what you're looking for.
