Flute

Flute is the smallest instrument in the woodwind family despite the piccolo. It have a range of notes from a middle C and about 3 octaves to another high C. Sound is produced from a flute by blowing onto a sharp edge, causing air in the tube to vibrate. Flutes are splendid in producing a high, harmonious pitch or even a solid, cold and dark sound with its low register. Usually, a flute is used to play harmonious and romantic pieces due to its bright and high pitch.
