Native American-style flutes, handmade in Arizona
High Spirits Native American-style flutes have been handmade in a town called Patagonia in Arizona for more than three decades. Historically, the materials and tuning structure of Native American flutes have varied throughout America, with a wide range of designs, styles, and variations – much more than other woodwind instruments. In the South, Native American flutes were made from river cane and bamboo while in the East and West, they were made from softwood. In the Southwest, cedar is the wood of choice. Hardwoods began to be used when metal tools were introduced.
All you need to know about Native American-style flutes

How do I play a Native American-style flute?
Native American flutes have two chambers – the first collects the breath of the flute player, and the other creates the sound. The player breathes into one end of the flute, without the need for an embouchure. The design of the sound chamber and hole makes the player’s breath vibrate, creating air pressure in the sound chamber and making a sound.
How do I care for Native American-style flute?
Store your flute in a cloth bag when you’re not using it. If your flute gets dusty or there are smudges from your fingers, wipe it off with a soft, dry cloth.
Because Native American-style flutes are wooden, they can expand and contract if there are sudden changes in temperature or humidity, so keep them out of hot sun or damp places.
