Arabian Hijaz flute
The Hijaz flute is a type of flute that is designed based on the physical structure and sound of the Lakota flute, but with different musical intervals. Like the Lakota flute, these flutes can be ordered in different tunings and models, single, double, and triple, and due to their specific musical intervals, they have a warm and oriental sound, reminiscent of Middle Eastern, especially Arabic, music.
Similarities between Lakota and Hejaz
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.

Differences between the Lakota flute and the Hejaz flute:
The first difference between the two flutes is in their musical intervals, with the Lakota flute being a minor pentatonic instrument and the Hijaz flute having musical intervals closer to the major scale. Of course, owners of Lakota flutes can recreate the Hijaz flute scale with the capabilities of six-hole flutes, but this may not be as beautiful as playing this scale with the Hijaz flute.
