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.

How To Buy (Updated 03/01/2025)
Maker: Max Skabelund
Brand: Mad Max
Key: F#
Primary Material: ???
Price: $150 plus shipping
Notes: This flute plays beautifully. It is in excellent shape but has a couple of cosmetics blemishes, and the price reflects that. You can see in the picture how the block has a couple staines under the clear finish. There are a couple other small spots where the wood has a pale spot, also under the finish. I'll send detailed pics to those who are interested. I do not know what type of wood this is made of.
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: Ken Light
Brand: Amon Olorin
Key: D# / Eb
Primary Material: Old Growth Redwood
Price: $360 plus shipping
Notes: I have heard that Ken does not / will not make a flute with modern tuning, but THIS flute IS tuned in the 'moden' way, with the octave fingered like OOX OOO (Not OOX XOO). This flute also goes above the octave. It is made of Redwood. I was told it's old-growth redwood, but I'm not that much of a wood expert. It is a signature flute, with "Ken Light" lightly inscribed in the silver nest, just south of the sound hole. This is a lovely flute, with classic Ken Light style, but more contemporary fingering.
Maker: Guillermo Martinez
Brand: Quetzalcoatl Music
Model: Northern Plains
Key: F 432 Hz
Primary Material: Walnut (I think)
Price: $275 plus shipping
Notes: F minor 432. Has a great, mellow tone. Very nice. Walnut with a maple block.
Maker: Scott Loomis
Brand: Wind's Song
Key: G
Primary Material: Cedar
Price: $150 plus shipping
Notes: 1995 Cedar G by Scott Loomis. Loomis flutes are simply beautiful - beautifully simple. They have been used by many recoding artists on their albums and in soundtracks. This one has a hand signed makers-mark, but it is very faint - required a magnafying glass to read.
Maker: Ken Light
Brand: Amon Olorin
Key: D# / Eb
Primary Material: Old Growth Redwood
Price: $360 plus shipping
Notes: I have heard that Ken does not / will not make a flute with modern tuning, but THIS flute IS tuned in the 'moden' way, with the octave fingered like OOX OOO (Not OOX XOO). This flute also goes above the octave. It is made of Redwood. I was told it's old-growth redwood, but I'm not that much of a wood expert. It is a signature flute, with "Ken Light" lightly inscribed in the silver nest, just south of the sound hole. This is a lovely flute, with classic Ken Light style, but more contemporary fingering.
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.)
