 Flute - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The flute is a musical instrument of the woodwind family.
The piccolo is an octave higher in pitch, but has the same written notation for music as the concert flute.
Open-ended flutes such as the concert flute and recorder have more harmonics, and thus more flexibility for the player, and brighter, more pleasing timbres.

flute, in music, generic term for such wind instruments as the fife, the flageolet, the panpipes, the piccolo, and the recorder.
the transverse flute assumed substantially its present form after the improvements of Theobald Boehm (1794–1881), who ascertained the acoustically correct size and placement of the holes and devised an ingenious system of keys to cover them.

The alto and bass flutes are not loud instruments and are best suited for solo and chamber music.

To celebrate the completion of the alto flute CD ROM project, alto flute chamber ensemble Rarescale are launching a competition for composers, in collaboration with the Royal College of Music.
The CD ROM, funded by the Bradshaw Junior Fellowship at the RCM, is designed as an educational tool for composers and performers, and uses video, sound recordings, text and diagrams to demonstrate the range of contemporary techniques, quarter tones and sonorities available on this unique instrument.

 Woodwind Central - Flute Info
From medieval times two methods of producing sound were used: (a) blowing across a round mouth-hole as on the panpipes or transverse (side-blown) flute; (b) blowing into a whistle mouthpiece (end-blown) as on the recorder or flageolet.
(a) Alto flute - The flute in G, transposing instrument notated a 4th above actual sound.
The instrument has been widely revived in the 20th century both as an easy instrument for children and as a part of the revival in performing early music on authentic instruments.

A bit on the alto flute before I review the music here: the alto flute is a rather rare instrument--it's bent right before the joint of the head (mouthpiece) and the body of the flute--think how the pipe underneath your sink looks with that elbow bend and you can picture it.

I love the sound of the alto flute in G. It is particularly suited for chamber music and jazz.

GPO includes four alto flute samples (one solo, 3 ensemble-poly) - the solo one is quite nice, haven't tried the others yet.
I've been using GPO with FinWin 2005a for several months (on a four-year-old computer) and absolutely love it.
I've been looking for one for a while now and can't really turn up anything useful.
