Our Eastern Red Cedar Native American style Drone Flutes are a beautiful blend of tradition, craftsmanship, and natural warmth. Handcrafted from aromatic Eastern Red Cedar, these special-edition flutes are available exclusively for our Flutesgiving Sale in the keys of A and high B.
Eastern Red Cedar has long been cherished for its smooth, mellow voice and sweet natural fragrance. Each flute highlights cedar’s striking red and gold tones and flowing grain patterns, creating an instrument that sounds as beautiful as it looks. The tone is warm, earthy, and full of depth — ideal for meditation, performance, or peaceful solo playing.
Each flute features a dual-chamber drone design with a thumb hole on the back of the drone side, perfectly positioned for easy reach. This allows the drone chamber to play up to three notes — the base note of the scale (for example, A on an A flute), the major tonic (C on an A flute), and, with a stronger breath, the upper octave of the base note (high A). This design provides rich, resonant harmonies and dynamic tonal options.
Our 5-hole Native American style flute design on the melody side is ideal for any skill level. There’s no “extra hole” to cover with leather, and our 5-hole flutes play all the same notes as any 6-hole flutes — with ease! This makes them both beginner-friendly and expressive enough for professional players.
Every flute is custom made to order and hand-finished with our natural sunflower oil and beeswax blend — a time-tested finish that enhances cedar’s beauty and preserves tone without lacquer.
Handcrafted Quality: Each instrument is individually shaped, tuned, and finished by hand, ensuring balanced tone, smooth playability, and lasting quality.
Simple Care: Maintain your flute with Imitation Bear Fat/Flute Wax or natural oils, and store it safely in a flute bag to protect it from the elements.
Learn & Explore: Every flute includes free playing instructions, and you’ll find tutorials and sound demonstrations on our Blue Bear Flutes YouTube channel.
