I actually only have six-holed flutes that the third hole from the top is just another note. So ironically I need to figure out how to play the scales on those sort of flutes lol.
It is ironic however no difficulty whatsoever. You can actually use this tutorial for how to play those flute types as well, simply do not use the top hole. :) Coincidentally, those are the only types of six hole flutes I play as well and I'm accustomed to using them to play these scales also, so I may make a video for that in the near future as well. Thanks for watching!
Living in the UK and would love to learn how to play I'm 3d printing a flute as we speak I'm just hoping it will work out somehow it's a 6 hole but not sure of the scale it will be if any but this information and your knowledge is very helpful and I'm very greatful thank you Charlie :)
Thank you so much for your kind words my friend! With a little practice, even a 3D printed flute will most likely play! Having said that, we have flutes which probably cost less then 3D printer cord costs! Likewise, our international shipping is pretty reasonable! - bluebearflutes.com -
In the chromatic scale while you play the F# flute, you play F#, G#, A, A#, ... Is there a way to play the full 12 note chromatic scale (which would include G natural or the second degree of the chromatic scale)?
I was given a six hole flute and have no idea what key it's in. Anybody have an idea of how to find out what key is? I don't have access to anyone who plays a flute and I know very little about music. No
I would probably email that old Blue Bear and ask him. You could send him a picture of it which will probably help out the most. Also, typically all holes covered represents the key although that is not accurate if the flute is not made correctly.
@@young1939 You know, I've been making Native American Flutes for more than 35 years, many other flute makers have learned from me and if I can help bring new life into an old flute, it brings me great joy!
@BlueBearFlutes I took a picture of my flute with my cell phone, but have not figured out how to send it. I'm not very tech savvy. Comes with being 83 year old. I blew into it with all the holes closed and my guitar tuner on. D came up on the tuner. Does that mean it is a D flute?
Thankfully, since I started playing the Native American flute....I dont bother with scales...just play lovely music by ear...:-)
Thanks Charlie...
That sounds excellent to me my friend! You just never know when you are going to be in Leeson Pub or Paddy Blues and need to play along! ;)
@@BlueBearFlutes LOL...:-)
I play along best with nature....
Charlie, that fills all the gaps I am having trouble with (All the scales). Once again, thank you. Very, very happy.
I will be posting a song pretty soon Tom that I think you will greatly appreciate! You can put these scales to good use! :)
The comments about the breathwork were very helpful
Thanks!
Love that you explain and demonstrate! So helpful!
Cool, thank you.
I will do more study now.
Looking at my path and trying to learn something good.
Your knowledge and understanding is appreciated.
Thanks Charlie. I love the blues too! Super helpful. God Bless.

Hey Charlie, what page is that pdf download on your website? 😊
It's on the info page. I meant to put it in the comments and will shortly.

Thanks, this flute may not have been made correctly.
@@young1939 I just need to see it.
