Caval for beginners

The kaval:


 
This is a long flute with 5 holes as though the lowest hole is missing, and on the quart note it sounds a specific interval, an extended oriental character quarter note. Thus the scale have its minor character , with an extended quart intoned underneath. The base is the quint-changed playing. If we leave the bottom hole of the flute, then we create a minor scale with five holes. If we acquire the quint-changed technique, then we orientate on the kaval also.
