Oregon Flute Store Catalog > Native American Style Flutes > Cedar & Gallery Flutes by Stellar Cedar & Gallery Flutes by Stellar
Tom, Matt and Erika of the Stewart family work as a team to craft precise and responsive instruments. Tom and his son Matt share many of the woodworking tasks involved, but each has his specialty. Matt tunes a Stellar flute and refines its “voice” or timbre. He also creates the bird block, which he designed to our specifications. Tom applies the finish coats using a process that involves two different sealants and five separate layers including the last layer of beeswax rubbed to a sheen. Tom’s wife Erika contributes much to the work of running the family business. Each flute is carefully tuned in the traditional pentatonic minor scale. They are voiced for a strong, clear tone and brilliant harmonics. We are proud to make these flutes available to you. |
"I love my Laughing Mallard cases. I currently own four. They have traveled thousands of miles on the road with me. I've hiked with them down canyons and up mountains. I carried them in scorching heat, and driving rain and snow. When I'm on tour I never know what to expect, but at least I know my flutes are safe and sound. They're easy to carry, easy to load and have saved my flutes from getting damaged many times. Plus, they look great! I always get compliments on them."
~Scott August, Recording Artist Performer
