A Short History of the Flute
Flutes are among humanity oldest instruments — bone flutes 35,000 years old have been found in German caves. The modern silver concert flute comes from Theobald Boehm 1847 key system, which gave it full chromatic power.
From James Galway to the Indian bansuri masters like Hariprasad Chaurasia, the flute sings in orchestras, jazz and folk music on every continent. Play its melodies on the free playable flute in your browser above.
Acoustically, breath splitting across an embouchure hole sings through a cylindrical tube — reproduced here with an airy whistle-like synth voice.
