| | Flutes |
 | | Flutes sound as written; piccolo is a transposing instrument that sounds one octave higher than written. | | | The flute most commonly used in today's Western orchestras and bands is a side-blown, or transverse flute made of metal (or sometimes dark wood). | | | Boehm was a concert flautist (flute player), and also a goldsmith who had some understanding of acoustics (the physics of sound). |

| | Sean O'Malley's Flute Quotes |
| | "Flute music is love music from the heart. | | | And the music will correspond to their minds; for as their minds are perverted from the natural state, so there are perverted modes and highly strung and unnaturally colored melodies. | | | The shrill of the pipe, mimed by our piccolo, the tremolo of the flute, can suggest or echo a whiteness as of madness. |

| | OUR STORY Flute History |
| | The flute, the oldest known wind instrument, dates back to the 9th century B.C. Today, the flute is an integral part of almost every type of music, from classical to contemporary to jazz. | | | 1500 A.D. Throughout the 16th century flutes were one of the most popular instruments of the Italian musical scene. | | | This instrument went out of favor during the first half of the 17th century because it could not compete in playing the new expressive style which the violin had made popular. |

| | The flute is overblown to its second or third harmonic by a combination of increasing the airstream velocity and "rolling in" to decrease the gap between the players lips and the edge. | | | The embouchure at which the edgetone is produced is near one end and constitutes a second open end, making the flute an open cylinder in harmonic content. | | | One advantage of the flute over the recorder is that the player has direct control over the angle at which the air from the lips strikes the embouchure hole. |
