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'm middle-aged, not very musical, and with tendencies towards tone-deafness, and I'm five thousand miles away in the deep south-west of England. Nevertheless, JoAnn has managed to nurse me along so that, while my Native American flute obsession may not be under control, it is at least receiving expert treatment. The transatlantic cable bulges under the strain of the e-mail traffic but JoAnn's unfailing support and enthusiasm have made me feel part of the flutie family, and enabled me to make the flute a very important and satisfying part of my life."
