Although our Minor Key flutes are typically optimized to play the Minor Pentatonic scale, they can also play the Major scale by using the above fingering. For example, an A-minor flute can also play the C-major scale when you start the scale with the bottom hole open. This avoids the problematic Half-holing of the alternative approach. Although this is an easier fingering, it has two complications:

1. Does not have as a many pitches, which may limit what songs you can play.
2. Starts the scale on a different pitch than the flutes fundamental, so you may need the following table to translate between the flute's key and the key of the Major scale.
