The alto recorder in F, also known as a treble (and, historically, as consort flute and common flute) is a member of the recorder family. Up until the 17th century the alto instrument was normally in G 4 instead of F 4. [1] [2] Its standard range is F 4 to G 6. The alto is between the soprano and tenor in size, and is correspondingly ...
A forked fingering is a fingering in which an open hole has covered holes below it: fingerings for which the uncovering of the holes is not sequential. For example, the fingering 0123 (G 5) is not a forked fingering, while 0123 56 (F ♯ 5) is a forked fingering because the open hole 4 has holes covered below it – holes 5 and 6. Forked ...
While there is no exact date that the alto flute was created, large flutes have existed for several hundred years. [1] Some problems with early alto flute design included the long length of the tube, troublesome cross fingerings, inconsistent intonation, finger holes that were too wide across, and how far one’s arm had to be stretched in order to reach the finger holes, particularly in the ...
A careful examination of the flute fingering for the notes D ♯ 6 through G ♯ 6 reveals that they are actually a combination of third and fourth harmonic fingerings. For example, the D ♯ fingering is like the low D ♯ 4 with the addition of the G ♯ key vented, for which D ♯ 6 is the third harmonic.

The flute is perhaps the oldest musical instrument, other than the human voice itself. There are very many flutes, both traversely blown and end-blown "fipple" flutes, currently produced which are not built on the Boehm model. The fingering system for the saxophone closely resembles the Boehm system.
The treble flute is a member of the flute family. It is in the key of G, pitched a fifth above the concert flute and is a transposing instrument, sounding a fifth higher than the written note. [ 1 ] The instrument is rare today, only occasionally found in flute choirs, some marching bands or private collections.
