Introducing the "First Winds" Flute
Crafted for those beginning their journey with Native-style flutes, the First Winds flute offers simplicity, quality, and affordability. Made from cypress, a wood known not only for its gentle tonal character but also for being the least toxic wood in North America. This flute is an excellent option for individuals with sensitivities or allergies.
 
Tuned to A minor at A=440, it’s ready to play out of the box. The dimensions have been thoughtfully modified to include slightly smaller, beveled finger holes, making them easier to feel and seal—especially helpful for those with smaller hands or new to flute playing. It plays the pentatonic scale with ease and also supports an accurate chromatic scale, making it an excellent choice for those interested in expanding their musical toolbox beyond traditional flute melodies.
 
Though it lacks ornate carvings or inlays, the voice of this flute is clear, warm, and an excellent dynamic range from soft spoken to bright and cheerful. Its simple elegance allows new players to focus on learning breath and fingering. 
 
Let the First Winds flute be your introduction to the world of soulful expression rich in tone, and easy to play.
 
Includes Native patterned flute sock.
