Flutes
Their are many types of flutes both big and small wooden and silver each playing a different sound. but the most common that I have seen is the Western concert flute.The flute is a family of musical instrument
of the woodwind group. Unlike woodwind instruments with reeds, a flute is an
aerophone or reedless wind instrument that produces its sound from the flow of
air across an opening. According to the instrument classification of
Hornbostel–Sachs, flutes are categorized as edge-blown aerophones.
A musician who plays the flute can be
referred to as a flute player, flautist, flutist or, less commonly, fluter
orflutenist.
Aside from the voice, flutes are the
earliest known musical instruments. A number of flutes dating to about 43,000
to 35,000 years ago have been found in the Swabian Alb region of Germany. These
flutes demonstrate that a developed musical tradition existed from the earliest
period of modern human presence in Europe
