NATIVE AMERICAN FLUTES FOR SALE
I usually have a few pre-owned flutes for sale. I buy flutes from other players, recording artists, collectors, and estates. All flutes shown are in stock and available. When one sells (or is reserved with a deposit), I remove it. All prices shown are for customers within the continental US, and plus shipping.
Don't hesitate to ask for more photos or sound samples. I limited them to 1 picture each here to save time and space.
Reach out to me if you are interested in one of these. I have others that I haven't listed as well. Ask if you are looking for something you don't see here.

Maker: Michael Graham Allen
Brand: Coyote Oldman
Key: D
Special: Left-Handed
Primary Material: Juniper
Price: $750 plus shipping
Notes: Left-hand-down, low D Coyote Oldman flute by Michael Graham Allen. This fabulous MGA flute has a brass spacer and a stunning pony block. Great tone. This D plays above the octave which is a nice accomplishment for a lower flute.
Maker: Unknown
Key: Between G and F#
Special: Custom Box
Primary Material: Yellow Cedar?
Price: $275 plus shipping
Notes: This flutes came from Washington state. Features an expertly carved polar bear head, bear tracks and a seal pyrography, a polar bear fetish, and a birch-bark spacer. It plays nicely, between G and F#. Includes a custom box with a polar ice scene on the top, and "Queen of the Ice" on the inside of the lid. This is a rare and collectible piece of NAF art.
Maker: Colyn Petersen
Brand: Woodland Voices
Key: F# 432Hz
Primary Material: Alaskan Cedar
Price: $400 plus shipping
Notes: F# 432 by Colyn Petersen. The flute is made of pale Alaskan cedar, with a pyrography Thunderbird design at the foot. It is well tuned and has a great voice. Not a good choice for playng with backing tracks, as they are typically not in 432. But as a solo instrument, or when playing with others and their 432 flutes, it can't be beat.
Maker: Theodore Ceplina
Model: Ho-Chunk Replica
Price: $400 plus shipping
Notes: Theodore Ceplina is best known for his replicas of Native American flutes. This is a replica of a Ho-Chunk (or Winnebego) flute. It is NOT tuned to Pentagonic Minor as are most modern flutes. It has a metal spacer and 3 wire wraps.
Maker: Brent Haines
Model: Woodsounds
Key: F#
Primary Material: Ironwood
Price: $1,000 plus shipping
Notes: A stunning Ironwood F# by Brent Haines. This flute has fabulous colors and LOTS of turquoise - turquoise rings and large patches on inlay on the bottom. You just have to ask me for more pictures of it to fully appreciate it.
Maker: Unknown
Style: Lakota
Key: Ab
Primary Material: ??
Price: $150 plus shipping
Notes: This is a sweet little flute. Maker and age unknown. I do not suspect it to be 'old'. It's tuned to Pentatonic Minor Ab. It has a nice turquoise/greenish paint in the low spots. It has a tall chimney, but it doesn't warble (at least not for me.)
Maker: Paul Thompson (1949-2021)
Tribe: Navajo
Key: D
Primary Material: Cedar
Price: $400 plus shipping
Notes: Mallard head flute by Paul Thompson. This is another flute that I acquired from Gary Stroutsos. It is a large D flute with a very nice tone and tuning. I used this flute to record the song Mallard's Lullaby for my album Woodland Spirit, Prairie Heart.
Maker: Paul Thompson (1949-2021)
Tribe: Navajo
Key: F
Primary Material: Bamboo
Price: $175 plus shipping
Notes: This flute is unsigned, but undeniably a Paul Thompson, and very typical for his bamboo or river cane flutes. I acquired this flute from Gary Stroutsos, who was Paul's friend and favored Paul's flutes. Paul passed away in 2021.
Maker: Guillermo Martinez
Brand: Quetzalcoatl Music
Model: Southern Flute
Key: A
Primary Material: Lignum Vitae
Price: $175 plus shipping
Notes: Lignum Vitae is a very dense wood, making this flute nearly dent-proof. It was made in 2015 and is in like-new condition
Maker: Jon Norris
Model: Transverse - Akebono
Key: B
Primary Material: Maple
Price: $200 plus shipping
Notes: This photo doesn't do justice to the beauty of this flute. The tiger maple has a wonderful stripe effect, and there is an engraved silver medalian as an end cap. I do not know if it is actually silver or just a silvery. This flute has 4 finger holes on the top and a thumb hole on back. This a flute for someone with long arms. (I'm 5'8" and struggle with it.)
