One of the challenges I have been facing is that most modern tablature is written for a 6-hole flutes (I have a 5-hole). Yes, as you mentioned, I disregard that 3rd hole when reading 6-hole tabs, however, some songs have that hole uncovered and this is where things get a little messy... :-) I had to look up conversions between these 6-hole configurations (with third hole open) and their equivalent 5-hole configurations. Still trying to find more conversion charts. Or just buy a 6-hole.

Interesting that native flute tabs are the opposite of tin whistle tahs. I know tabs for guitar, bass, mandolin, and ukulele. Will have to keep that in mind when learning the 2 and see which way the xiao and quena goes when I try to learn them. Your videos have been helpful for this newbie. Thanks 😊

I learned the recorder as a kid - it's also the opposite, just like tin whistle tabs/fingering charts. It's a little confusing for now. 😅

You have likely figured it out by now but for anyone reading this who may be wondering: The flute is linked in the description. Jonny Lipford (for example) has a quick video tip on this. Basically, to figure out the key of your flute (if it's not shown somewhere on the flute) is to get a tuner or tuner app (sound corset for android is good - and he also recommends it) and a fingering chart for native flutes. Then play the notes, covering all holes first. See what that one is and follow a chart with the base note being what you got. If you lowest note is G it will be the key of G. If it's F# it's in the key of F# and so on.
