  What you do is that you alternately open and close the lower end while you play achieving thus some 16 different tones. And you can get still further effects when you half-cover the same end, which lowers the "open" tones somewhat. After a little practicing you can play a very varied music.
The idea is, that you let the flute "do the work" when you approach it, take the tones that come out and use them to play with. It can then behave almost as it plays by itself. As the time passes, and you get to know it more and more, you also become more and more able to control the tones. "A minute to learn - a lifetime to master".
All the presented koncovka (overtone flutes) are top quality hand made musical instruments. Our koncovka are hand-bored from natural piece of upland elder tree, preserving its original bent shape together with its harmonics.
Superior feature of our FS koncovka's is the possibility to play the typical ornaments (multiphonics) as "scatter" and "whoosh" with the bottom hole open as well as closed. Any other koncovka's sold in Slovakia can usually play these ornaments (scatter and whoosh) with open bottom hole only.
