Since the 2nd register notes above the minor 9th tend to be flat, it is worthwhile to try the higher notes with the top 2 holes open. This will sharpen the pitch and bring the notes closer to (if not perfectly) in tune, as long as the waveform doesn't collapse. Some makers use this as their standard fingering, as it both facilitates tuning and lets the player jump from the octave note to the 2nd register note without any left hand finger changes.

Thank you so much for this video Clint, it was definitely helpful in reaching that second register which is so important because so many songs have a few notes in that register. One question, would you say a particular design lends to hitting the second register more effectively, such as the flue in the body of the flute as opposed to the flue in the bird ? Also how about the type of wood, will a harder would contribute to a cleaner second register ? I am looking for a flute that hits the second register effectively and cleanly, would you be willing to recommend any particular makers. It is so hard to assess via websites, especially these days. Thank you for any input regarding this issue again.

Thank you so much for this experience Clint! All three of my homemade flutes - E, F# and A - coped with this task. I am proud of them!
