]]> I have a 1977 Sankyo Prima flute, sterling, low B foot. I love it. It has been my faithful companion for three decades. Flutes can be made out of wood, metal, stone, clay, most any material you can fashion into a long tube. The sound is made by the air spiraling through the tube, usually with finger holes to change the pitch of the notes. Instruments that are played by blowing air into or over them are called aerophones.

Cornell Kinderknecht plays several kinds of flutes, sometimes with Tibetan bowls.

Paul Horn plays an alto flute, among other woodwind instruments, sometimes in exotic places, like the Taj Mahal.

R. Carlos Nakai plays a Native American wooden flute, sometimes with unexpected musicians.
