The following charts provide the basic fingerings and notation for both End Blown and Side Blown Diatonic Spirit Flutes. On the charts, the black dots indicate closed holes and the tapered end of the drawing indicates the mouthpiece. Under each fingering diagram is the corresponding note. Please remember that with all wind instruments the amount of air pressure exerted will determine the accuracy of the note, more pressure will sharpen the note, while less pressure will flatten it. We provide fingering charts because many people are interested in the information they provide but you don’t need them to enjoy playing music on the Spirit Flute. In many cultures people never learn music theory, they create beautiful melodies simply “playing by ear”.
