Aromatic Cedar flutes are our most cost effective flutes. Additionally, this Cedar is a traditional wood for flutes and has an excellent sound and look.
Robert Mirabal, Taos Pueblo Native, likes his Aromatic Cedar flute so much that he used it in the photo for his Pueblo Christmas album and has used it on many recordings. The picture is below:
"No matter where I am in the world I am playing, I can always count on my Woodsounds flutes. When I am on stage, I need to know that my flutes will perform consistently in tone and pitch. My Woodsounds flutes give me the confidence needed to play to thousands of people every year."
Robert Mirabal - 2008 Grammy Award Winner
