Authentic Native American Flutes by Jonah Thompson - Handmade Navajo flutes
Handcrafted by Jonah Thompson, a Diné flute maker from the Navajo Reservation in Kayenta, Arizona, these authentic Native American flutes carry the spirit of tradition. Born to the Coyote Pass clan and born for the Red House People clan, Jonah learned the art of flute making from his uncle. A musician and storyteller, he shares his craft and heritage at pow-wows and art shows across the Southwest.
Jonah believes the flute is a sacred gift to be shared through prayer, friendship, and joy. Crafted from ponderosa pine, his authentic wooden flutes offer a warm tone similar to cedar and feature his signature hand-carved animal fetishes—each one a work of art. While not designed for professional concerts, these affordable instruments are perfect for personal enjoyment or gifting, delivering exceptional quality for the price.
Every flute is 6 hole and is hand-tuned to the Minor Scale at 440Hz, finished with Teak oil, and adorned with a leather-tied block, beads, and feathers. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced player, Jonah’s flutes bring beauty, tradition, and music to your hands.
Discover the artistry and tradition of handcrafted Native American flutes, made by Jonah Thompson, a skilled flute maker and musician from the Diné (Navajo) Nation.
Customer Comments about these flutes:
Hi Walt.
I absolutely love the flute. I love that the flute is small and the holes are closer together for my fingers to reach. It has beautiful tones for such a small flute. I haven't had a chance yet to download some of the songs, but I have been making up some of my own songs for now.
I may have to look through your flute selections again for another addition to my flute collection.
Thanks again.

Hi there!
I ordered one of your flutes for myself about a month ago and now decided that, since I loved it so much, I am buying one for my sister who is ill and must rest. I thought one of your flutes would help her exercise her lungs. Your flutes are a lovely way to make the world a more beautiful melodious place to live!
Thanks!

Thanks, Walt!
This Jonah Thompson (flute) plays beautifully. It has a very mellow, soulful sound.
My technique is still lacking. I just need to practice, practice :)

I just want to tell you I love the Flute I got from you it is better than some that I paid so much more. I am not native but I love the playing of the flute. My wife is native and she told me that the Navajo people take pride in what they do. Its been a great path and I can't wait to see the end.
