similar playing techniques in both flutes and similar sound color in both instruments. For this reason, players of both instruments can easily handle playing both types of flutes. This structural similarity has also made it easy for Lakota flute makers to easily make Hijaz flutes. Another similarity between these two flutes is their classification into different models and tunings. The Hijaz flute, like the Lakota flute, is available in more than twelve different tunings, which are classified into three ranges of low, middle and bass sounds, and are presented in three models: single, double and triple.
