The Flute produces sound any time that air is blown across an edge. There are two different sub families of flutes. The open flute family involves instruments where the player's lips form a stream of air going directly to the edge from the player's lips. Examples of this type of flute are end blown flutes and transverse flutes. Modern concert flutes are typically open flutes that are either crafted from a pure metal or a mix of metals like nickel, gold and silver. The closed flute family involves flute instruments where the instrument forms and directs the air stream to reach the edge. This family of flutes includes fipple based flutes including the recorder family and whistles.
