"I have been using High Spirits flutes on my recordings and for performances for over 10 years. I play them because for the price and quality, they are simply the best in the business." Douglas Blue Feather

High Spirits flutes, owned by Odell Borg, are made in Patagonia, AZ. Odell makes Native American style flutes from a solid piece of the finest cedar, walnut, birch and other fine domestic plantation-grown woods or recycled lumber, finished with three coats of a non-toxic hardening oil for durability and clarity of sound, and each is precision-tuned so that it will blend perfectly with other instruments.

***A note about Native American flutes - just as a "French horn" is a particular type of musical instrument, "Native American flute" refers to a particular type of musical instrument and does not imply that it was made by an enrolled member of a federally-recognized tribe. Although Odell's flutes are owned, used and endorsed by many prominent Native American musicians, High Spirits flutes are not "Native American made" as specified by the U.S. Government. If it is your desire to own a flute made by an enrolled member of a federally-recognized Native American tribe, you can find flute makers through a web search.
