Flute Troubleshooting
Hello! I'm new to the native american flute, I've got a 6 hole flute in the key of D (doesn't specify major or minor), and I'm having trouble. Firstly it seems so much higher in pitch than any i've ever heard, but that could be the key it's in. And then, it had a clear sound with all holes covered, but starting to uncover them just sounds terrible after the bottom hole... and playing it at the top of the scale, with all holes uncovered it sounds super high pitched and not smooth at all... I covered the 3rd hole down as was suggested, and I'm fairly confident things aren't being covered weirdly, especially because when I have all of my fingers off of the holes, I see videos of it sounding clear and nice, but mine is very... not like that haha. Any suggestions?
