    The flute is a member of a family of musical instruments in the woodwind group. Like all woodwinds, flutes are aerophones, producing sound with a vibrating column of air. Flutes produce sound when the player's air flows across an opening. In the Hornbostel–Sachs classification system, flutes are edge-blown aerophones. [1]

    Flutes produce sound by directing a focused stream of air across the edge of a hole in a cylindrical tube. [2] [3] The flute family can be divided into two subfamilies: open flutes and closed flutes. [4] To produce a sound with an open flute, the player is required to blow a stream of air across a sharp edge that then splits the airstream.

    A number of musical instruments, other than the pipe organ, are based on the edge-tone phenomenon, the most common of which are the flute, the piccolo (a small version of the flute), and the recorder. The flute can be blown lateral to the instrument or at the end, as the other ones are. A native end-blown flute is shown in the figure.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flue_pipe

    Some flue pipes are designed to produce the sounds of reed pipes or to imitate the sounds of orchestral instruments which are approximated by reed pipes. The sound is generally more mellow and sweet than that of a true reed pipe. Examples include the Saxophone, the Muted horn, the Clarinet flute, and the Echo oboe.

  8. Fipple - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fipple

    The Hornbostel–Sachs system for classifying musical instruments places this group under the heading "Flutes with duct or duct flutes." [1] The label "fipple flute" is frequently applied to members of the subgroup but there is no general agreement about the structural detail of the sound-producing mechanism that constitutes the fipple, itself.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_concert_flute

    Each of the above instruments has its own range. The piccolo reads music in C (like the standard flute), but sounds one octave higher. The alto flute is in the key of G, and the low register extends to the G below middle C; its highest note is a high G (4 ledger lines above the treble staff). The bass flute is an octave lower than the concert ...
