@TheGreenArrow100 No! Clarinet has a unusual bore and totally different fingering in 2 nd octave. Six hole diatonic flute aka renaissance flute and bansuri have same fingering generally as tin whistle and pennywhistle. Baroque recorder is also similar. Each of my diatonic flutes can easily play in four diatonic key signatures and several additional pentatonic scales with out half holing. Diatonic modes also play great and easy.
