The flute is one of the oldest and most widely played instruments.
It’s been around since the Middle Ages, and became a member of the symphony orchestra in the 18th century.
The flute has a full, rich, warm, and velvety sound in the low range. The tone is gentle and clear in the middle, but very bright and penetrating in the high register.
It is a very agile instrument that is frequently used for solo performances.
Is originally made of wood, but the flute now is made of silver, nickel, and stainless steel.
