A harmonic is a frequency that is a whole number multiple of a lower register, or "fundamental" tone of the flute. Generally, the quality called "tone colour" or "timbre" varies because the flute produces harmonics in different intensities. Transverse flutes also take more air to play, which requires deeper breathing and makes circular breathing trickier, but still not impossible.

However, it also makes the transverse flute immensely more difficult for a beginner to get a full sound out of than fipple flutes such as the recorder. This allows the player a wide range of expressions in pitch, volume, and timbre, especially in comparison to fipple flutes. In non-fipple flutes, especially the concert flute and piccolo, the player must form and direct the stream with his or her lips, which is called an embouchure. In organs, the air is supplied by a regulated blower. In fippled flutes, a precisely machined slot extrudes the air. The air-stream must be flat, and precisely aimed at the correct angle and velocity, or else it will not vibrate. This is why police whistles, a form of flute, are very wide for their pitch, and why organs can be far louder than concert flutes: an organ pipe's tone-hole may be several inches wide, while a concert flute's is a fraction of an inch. A flute can generally be made louder by making its resonator and tone-holes larger.

To be louder, a flute must use a larger resonator and a wider air-stream.

This slide effect can be produced on a modern day flute by just using the head joint and your finger. This is done either by closing holes, or more rarely, with a slide similar to a trombone's slide. The player changes the pitch of the flute by changing the effective length of the resonator. The stream beats against the air in a resonator, usually a tube. Some engineers have called this a fluidic multivibrator, because it forms a mechanical analogy to an electronic circuit called a multivibrator. Some early flutes were made out of the tibia (shin bone).Ī flute produces sound when a stream of air directed across the top of a hole in the lip plate bounces in and out of the hole. A bone fragment of a juvenile cave bear with two to four holes found at Divje Babe in Slovenia and dated to about 50,000 years ago may also be an early flute. A flute made from a mammoth tusk, found in the Swabian Alb and dated to 30,000 to 37,000 years ago and one seven-hole flute made from a swan's bone in the Geißenklösterle cave in Germany to circa 36,000 years ago are among the oldest known musical instruments. She’s a nice lady.The flute has appeared in many different forms in many different locations around the world. Usually we just end up talking about potholes or American Idol. It kind of throws my instructor for a loop when I show up for a lesson. I’ve been using an empty paper towel roll that I poked holes in with a ballpoint pen.

See, the thing is, I don’t even have a flute. “Feeling like a dead duck….!” I’m not sure how the rest of the song goes. Do you like Jethro Tull? Aqualung is such a tremendous record. Sometimes, I like to put on a leisure suit or a multi-colored vest and pretend that I’m Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull. To: exciting! I’ve been looking for a flute in perfect playing condition. To: genuinely love this flute! Is it still available? I’d really like to get my mouth around it as soon as possible. * Comes with hard felt lined Artley case, cleaning cloth, cleaning rod and drying rod. * All pads have been replaced, Is in perfect playing condition.
