Notes: A subset of the Natural Minor scale used by a number of flute makers for four-hole rim-blown flutes. According to Jon Norris (personal communication, 9/17/2018), it matches what Michael Graham Allen calls his Desert flute, and what Geoffrey Ellis calls Mojave. Geoffrey's Mojave 6 is the full Aeolian (Natural Minor). The old Mojave artifacts were all over the place in tuning.
