Native Sounds

We recently purchased some flutes and drums from this shop and had a great experience. A special thanks to Mr. RedHawk for his kindness and support—he was incredibly helpful throughout the process. Wishing continued success and all the best to the shop!

We had taken the train to Santa Fe on a whim, so we were on foot and decided to see if there were any music stores within walking distance. I have grown accustomed to finding only tourist versions of Native Flutes in the shops we visit, so walking in to Native Sounds and finding the shop full of high-quality and reasonably priced instruments was pretty unexpected! Sky Redhawk was very soft spoken and genuine, and he allowed me to get familiar with quite a few of the flutes he had on display. All of the flutes were Beautiful; each with a unique voice, but I eventually gravitated toward the locally-crafted “chris ti coom” flutes. In all honesty… My companion and I had only come to Santa Fe for a cup of coffee and maybe a nice lunch, but I left with the only flute in the key of Fm that I have ever played (not one of the more common keys for a flute). Sky Redhawk reminded me that my feet had only directed me to the place where I was supposed to be at that moment. I am So Grateful and Blessed that I was able to introduce this wonderful instrument to my family of flutes, and to be able to play my morning prayer on it the next morning as the sun was rising over the Sandias on the summer solstice, 6/20/2025. Thank you Sky Redhawk! Jeff 5

What a magical experience. We walked in and Mr. Sky Redhawk helped my husband try and purchase a new flute. He showed us his personal collection of flutes and told us the story of how the red headed woodpecker gifted the flute to the people and played us one of his songs on the flute. It was a healing and spiritual experience for us. We will never forget our visit.

I don’t play and wasn’t going to buy a flute, but Mr. Redhawk took the time to tell me about the flute as an instrument and playing it. He shared some of the stories behind his music and even played. He even signed one of his CDs for me. Grateful for a lovely afternoon with a true gentleman.

So grateful to have met him and listened playing the flute. It was magic! My husband bought a flute from Sky RedHawk and he is very happy. Sky thank you for the wonderful moments that you shared with me. Thank you and I will see you soon ROBERTO LOZANO.

Went to Native Sounds to find a flute. Sky Redhawk was so kind and informative, and helped me find the perfect flute that resonated with me. If you are looking for a native flute, absolutely go to Native Sounds. It is such a lovely experience. :)

What a wonderful soul Sky is. My husband and I were there last month. His shop smells amazing and is so calming to the spirit. My husband bought a flute and I bought all the ingredients to duplicate that beautiful smudge. We've been burning it every day. We loved talking with him! Sky, tell me again what I say to Kevin Locke. Sky will calm your soul. We are so grateful that we stumbled upon his shop. Don't miss it.

We stopped in today to Sky RedHawk's small store and had a wonderful experience! He is very friendly and knowledgeable as well as being an amazing musician and ambassador of his Lakota heritage. So grateful to have met him and listened to his stories!
