Characteristics of the flute

The shape is a long cylindrical tube with several sound holes. Early flutes were made of ebony or coconut wood. In modern times, metals are mostly used, such as ordinary nickel silver alloy or professional silver alloy, 9K and 14K gold and precious metal platinum. Occasionally, some performers use special plastic steel flutes.

The timbre of traditional wooden flutes is characterized by mellow, warm, delicate and low volume, while the timbre of metal flutes is brighter and broader. Flutes of different materials are chosen entirely according to the player's preferences. However, one kind of flute should be used uniformly in the band to obtain the most harmonious and full sound effect.

Among Western musical instruments, the flute is a woodwind instrument among woodwind instruments. The pronunciation principle of the flute is somewhat special compared to other musical instruments. It is caused by pressure changes that produce continuous positive and negative pressure at the blow hole to stimulate the gas spring to produce sound. Therefore, the curvature of the air inlet end is equivalent to the angle between the inner edge of the mouthpiece hole. The impact is just like the difference between wind blowing on a thin wire and a thick wire.
