Most Minor key flutes allow both of these fingering. The high pitches of the Hold 4 fingering may be a little sharp, but this can be compensated by blowing a little softer if it sounds out of tune. These two fingerings allow pairs of flutes in different keys to play together:

Hold 3 fingering Am B♭m
A♯m		 Bm Cm D♭m
C♯m		 Dm E♭m
D♯m		 Em Fm G♭m
F♯m		 Gm A♭m
G♯m
Hold 4 fingering Em Fm G♭m
F♯m		 Gm A♭m
G♯m		 Am B♭m
A♯m		 Bm Cm D♭m
C♯m		 Dm E♭m
D♯m

Footnotes: The Hold 4 flute can be in either a higher or lower key as the Hold 3 flute. A quick test for compatibility is to play the Hold 4 flute with only the top four holes closed [4] and compare the Hold 3 flute's pitch with the fundamental fingering [6] and the octave fingering [1].
