Humming Bird Cedar Flute - Key of G
Hummingbird Cedar Flute – Key of G Minor
Crafted from aromatic cedar, this G minor Native style flute features a nipple-style mouthpiece—an elegant design choice that allows for finer control of breath pressure and articulation. For many players, this shape enhances expressive playing, especially in slower, more meditative melodies where subtle dynamics make all the difference.
The foot of the flute is laser-engraved with two hummingbirds mid-flight, captured in a moment that evokes both aerial grace and spirited energy. To me, this imagery symbolizes creative force—lively, curious, and joyfully unbound. It invites the player to explore not only the voice of the flute, but their own imagination and vitality.
The cedar used in this piece is striking. Flecks of golden sapwood weave through the body, and small knots dot the grain like quiet reminders of the tree’s story. The voice of the flute reflects this character—warm, clear, and resonant with just a hint of wildness.
This flute is best suited for players with medium to large hands due to its wider bore and larger tone holes. It includes a soft fleece flute sock for safe storage and presentation.
This is more than a flute—it is an invitation to explore the dance between breath, sound, and spirit.

**Please Note:** While aromatic cedar is prized for its beauty, scent, and tonal warmth, it’s important to mention that it may not be suitable for individuals with sensitivities or respiratory allergies. Cedar naturally repels insects—one of the reasons it’s used in chests and closets—and this quality is due to compounds that, while harmless to most, can be irritating to those with heightened sensitivities. If you are highly allergy-prone or reactive to aromatic woods, consider a flute made from a milder species like walnut, maple, or cypress.
