Like the recorder it is a fipple, or whistle, flute—that is, one sounded by a stream of breath directed through a duct to strike the sharp edge of a hole cut in the side of the pipe.

Another division is between side-blown (or transverse) flutes, such as the Western concert flute, piccolo, fife, di zi, and bansuri; and end-blown flutes, such as the recorder, ney, kaval, quena, shakuhachi and tonette.
This makes the instrument easier to play, but takes a degree of control away from the musician.
Generally, the quality called "tone colour" or "timbre" varies because the flute produces harmonics in different intensities.
