Native American Flute Professionals play Odell's flutes - but so can you!
Learn how easy it is to play the Native American flute:

Of Native American ancestry (Ojibway), Odell Borg has gained extensive recognition not only from the flute-buying public, but also from Native American artists and other flutemakers as a maker of fine quality wooden flutes styled after and inspired by the Native American flutes of yesteryear. On this - his personal "official" website - Odell has a page for first time flute buyers (click here for that) and some new specials to help you enjoy the flute, including:

A message from Odell Borg:

The Native American flute and other wooden flutes styled after the Native American flute are a magical and a wonderful way to express emotions and feelings. It is very low tech yet has the most soothing, peaceful voice through which we can easily express ourselves.

On my website you will find Native American style flutes for everyone from beginners to professional musicians and I have Real Audio samples of each flute to help you determine what is best for you. If you are looking for your first flute, check out the Sparrow Hawk and Whitetail Hawk - easy to play, a very pleasing tone and affordable. The smaller Merlin at $79 and Kestrel at $69 are also very affordable, fun flutes. If you need more help deciding, give us a call at 1-800-394-1523.

If you are a first-time flute buyer, I have a page to help you figure out where to start. Click here for that.

Safe Journey,
Odell Borg

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 durablity and clarity of sound, and each is precision-tuned so that it will blend perfectly with other instruments.

.
  • Each flute includes a FREE "How to Play" CD, instruction booklet and fingering charts.

  • The fetish or carving on top of the flutes creates the sound and needs to be in its proper position for the flute to play at its optimum (see instruction booklet)

  • If the flute has a leather tie in the middle of the fingering holes it indicates that there is another fingering hole under the leather tie giving an extra note when ready to use.

  • All the flutes are based on the minor pentatonic scale.

  • When used as a 5-hole flute it is in the pentatonic scale. When the 6th hole under the leather tie is exposed the flute will play the relative major key in both the Diatonic and Chromatic scales.

  • The mid-range and high-range flutes play 1&1/3 octaves. The bass flutes are a one-octave instrument.

  • The softwoods such as Cedar have a fine balance between warmth and clarity. The hardwoods like Walnut and Birch are very durable and have a bright clear voice.

  • Our flutes are made out of a single piece of wood (uni-body) - they are not laminated together.

  • The shorter flutes are very easy to play and learn on. The longer bore flutes have a deeper voice and are recommend for those that already play the Native flute or any other wind instrument.

  • Each flute has a warranty against defective workmanship for 30 days after purchase.

    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 has Native American ancestry (Ojibway) and his 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 flutemakers through a web search.
