"Now, this Lake Spirit flute that I have been playing second set of lessons on is quite versatile plays in different keys. The main key I was playing here is F minor pantatonic (plays flute to demonstrate) and plays also well in A minor (plays flute) it also, has a hole in the back that's unusual for a Native American Flute it's kind of my own nod to the recorder and it gives the scale of the flute a little bit more flexibility. So, with ornamentation you can actually do more with this flute because you can do the grace note on different holes (plays flute) I'm actually do it on the back holes as well as the top ones (plays flute)."
