Hello Bluesky! This is a new adventure for us so I thought I would tell you about us and what we do! Here at Stellar Flutes our passion is making Native American style flutes that are accessible to as many people as possible.
A series of Native American style flutes laying side by side with brightly colored thread wrapping and bird shaped flute blocks. A Native American flute made out of many colors of cedar wood that gives it stripes Tim and Lily discussing sanding. Wally making sure a flute is planed to the correct thickness.

We've got new keys in the works! Our bigger flutes take way more clamps to put together but they are well worth the work we put in.

What are we doing at work? Lots of things. For example: testing methods of decoration like burning pitch wood.

We recently added 432h A flutes to our lineup but here in the shop the part we're really having fun with is learning to use copper wires to burn lines. It's such a simple addition, but it helps add so much character to them!

👀 We're hard at work in the shop on new products for you! We've had requests for things like drone kits, hijaz, and 432hz tuned flutes, so we listened!

We also figured out how to use copper wires to burn rings on our flutes. These look so nice!

Did you know we have a YouTube? Lily uses it to post almost every single premiere flute we make so you can listen before you buy!

There are all some lessons such as how to carve your pretend kit!

Happy International Women's Day! (Just a few days late!) 😀 Half of the team at Steller is women, and we do more than just the office work.

Good Monday morning from the shop! We've started doing mini meetings on Monday morning to set ourselves up for success. Being more organized helps with workflow! Why knew?

Let's start introducing the crew! Tom is the founder of Stellar Flutes, and almost every flute we make goes through his hands. If you hit up our website there is a longer PBS video where he talks about why and how he started Stellar Flutes!

Hard at work inspecting this flute.
For those who are unfamiliar with our team, this is me, Lily, one of the owners of Stellar Flutes. I run and oversee everything here at Stellar!
