Fujara fingering techniqueFujara (overtone bass flute) has range of four octaves, where in its two middle octaves, modern Fujara flutes can play major diatonic (7-note) scale by fingering the three Fujara side holes. The forth, highest fujara octave, is played merely by overblowing the overtones creating thus a harmonic scale - overtones played with all holes closed . |
Fujara can play these overtones:

Overtone Series: The Western chromatic scale has been modified into twelve equal semitones, and in relation to that scale, many of the harmonics are slightly out of tune, and the 7th, 11th, and 13th harmonics are significantly so. Among the first eight partials, the fundamental, second, fourth, and eighth partials are relatively well in-tune (the fundamental is considered the first partial). The third and sixth partials are slightly sharp, while the fifth is slightly flat. The seventh partial quarter-tone flat. Variance below 5 cents is not noticable by human ear.
Fujara (overtone bass flute) is capable to play EASILY & NICELY in 7 overtone levels, starting with 2nd and ending in 8th overtone, where by fingering of its 3 holes we get full major diatonic scale :
