| | Flutes |
 | | Flutes were used in funeral rites, both for music in the ceremony and as gifts to the dead. | | | Within the flute family, we can see a number of common characteristics in their musical and cultural role, but there is also a large amount of variation in the structure, appearance, and musical technique of the flute. | | | The cross flute has had a significant role only in Western music and in China, also appearing in Africa primarily for the purpose of personal music making. |

| | About the Flute |
| | The musical analysis of Judy Epstein Buss' thesis, "The Flute and Flute Music of the North American Indian," was based on recorded flute music that was collected between 1905 and 1952. | | | The most recent study, "The Flute of the Canadian Amerindian: An Analysis of the Vertical Whistle Flute with External Block and Its Music" by Paula Conlon, is an extensive study on the design and construction of the flute, and also includes aspects of measurement and acoustics. | | | His concept regarding flute repertoire is that melodies can pertain to various aspects of love, rather than the love song itself. |

| | The sound is made by blowing in the end of the flute. | | | Although no more than a bamboo vertical flute of extremely simple structure, the very simplicity of the instrument means that variations in fingering and movements of the neck, chin, lips and tongue enable the production of subtle expressive nuances involving the use of microtones and tonal variation. | | | On the standard instrument, blowing with all the fingerholes closed produces the pitch D. The range of the instrument is approximately two octaves and a fourth. |

| | The instrument is just as easy to tune as a standard flute, but it lacks the ability to play as loudly as transverse flutes. | | | Vertical flutes are sometimes used by people with disabilities that make playing a standard flute difficult or impossible. | | | The vertical flute has a twisted bend in the utmost part of the instrument; this section bends perpendicular to the length of the rest of the flute so the player can blow into the lip plate in the same manner as a transverse flute. |
