If you do start with a bass flute, remember that 'less is more' when it comes to air pressure to get those lowest notes out - it can be described as 'breathing' into the flute rather than blowing air.

F♯ (minor)

Unfortunately, that flute is no longer being made, and all of the available stock of it has been sold.

The difference between the Traditional style with fetish (bird/totem) and the Spirit style with the affixed flat plate is the size of the air passage they cover; on the Traditional there is a longer space from mouthpiece to fipple (sound hole) at about 3.5 inches, and on Spirit it is only 1 inch. It depends on the player and the local environment (mainly, humidity) for how fast moisture buildup may occur.

Our flutes play a range of one octave plus three half-steps (semi-tones) in a chromatic scale.

@@HighSpiritsFlutes4all thank you!

You will see two listings on the following link that have slightly different prices: highspirits.com/collections/earthtone/flutes-in-the-key-of-c The only difference is that one has the engraving and an extra stone on the plate at the mouthpiece, and the other does not. Both are listed as Final Sale which simply means they are not eligible for our normal returns process.

It is in the 440Hz tuning frequency.

It is in 440Hz

We do not have a 5-hole tablature available; the closest thing we found is a different Zuni song from a site that has options to toggle from 6-hole to 5-hole versions (drop-down at top of screen): www.flutetree.org/songbook/minor/ZuniSunriseCallShort.html

a fun way to play! there are actually instruments called nose flutes that are intended to be used that way.

@@HighSpiritsFlutes4all I learn something new each day. I cant hold the notes for so long but saves moisture getting in the flute lol. That is good to hear for those who may not be able to use their mouths I have a bamboo flute which is a bit deeper in sound but maybe one day if I can find a suitcase of money I will get one like you were playing too. Thank you for replying to me. You are very kind

The numbers below refer to the time signature which is 3/4. This means three (3) quarter notes (4) per measure. So when the number 1 is below a note that means it is a quarter note and takes up one of three beats in the measure. The number 2 is for half notes, which take up 2 beats in the measure. Where it has 1/2 are for eighth notes, so when two are next to each other they are twice as fast as quarter notes, together taking up one whole beat of the measure. If that is confusing, simply follow along with the melody and you will learn the rhythm and notes together.

On page 23 (PDF page 31) of our instructional booklet, the chromatic charts for 5-hole and 6-hole configurations are available, which gives you fingering positions for available notes. You can download the booklet here: highspirits.com/pages/downloads-for-native-and-signature-flutes where it is titled Learn-to-Play Instructional Booklet - "Playing the Native Flute with Odell Borg" (click on the word 'ENGLISH'). Nakai tablature for Native American Style Flutes will be shown with a key signature of E-major (C♯-minor), though that is not necessarily the actual key of the music. This is because of the standard minor-pentatonic tuning of the Native Style flute, where the same melodies can be played with the same fingering combinations on any key of flute; so it can sound 'off' as far as matching the actual key of the music.

It is ~25 inches long, and the holes have the same size and distance between them as the Condor Bass B
