Hijaz flutes often referred to as middle eastern flutes have a tuning that is familiar in Arabic and Hebrew music. They feature a six note scale where the highest note is overblown. They are more complicated to play than a Native American style flute. The lowest hole is set low enough on the flute that many players need to use a pinky finger to cover it. Once you learn to play your Hijaz flute, you will be rewarded with its soothing and harmonic voice.
