The techniques vary too between the two types of Gaida. Also the flea hole on Djura Gaida can be used to raise or wobble every note, right down to the bottom if the reed is working well, but the flea hole on Kaba Gaida only works properly at the top of the scale, it doesn't make a proper F from the E position on the E Gaida, and the note gets further out and disfunctional the further you go down.
