Your Anasazi will actually play a few different scales; major pentatonic, akebono, a different minor pentatonic than your NAF, and a couple more. None of them will sound like your NAF minor pentatonic.
That's what I was thinking. Blame me for taking the road less traveled.

Scott also has out (or had out) a booklet on the Anasazi flute. When I attended one of his rim blown seminars, he covered much more than just the major pentatonic.
I saw that booklet on his web site, but he has since taken it down. He told me it's out of date so he's stopped publishing it. I searched for an existing copy in vain. I will definitely check out his seminars though.

You may want to check out his Cedar Mesa website. He periodically offers various seminars, and also is a good Skype instructor. And he sells books and cd’s from the site too.
I have taken a private skype lesson from him, which helped a lot. And I have his latest album and his book, "
The Complete Guide to the Native American Style Flute" but it doesn't deal with the Anasazi variant.
I also have a book called "
Native American Flute: A Comprehensive Guide ~ History & Craft" by C.S. Fuqua, which gives a lot of history and greater detail about the Anasazi style flute. I think I need to compare it to Scott's material and see what I can do to adapt the tunes.
