Types of Flute



Side-blown - Also known as a transverse flute, you hold it horizontally or sideways to play.

End-blown - It is played by blowing the end of a tube or pipe. End-blown flutes have two sub-categories:

Rim-blown Flutes - Also known as notched flutes, it is played by blowing across the top of a tube. The air is split because the tube has a notch or a sharp edge.
Duct Flutes - Also known as fipple flutes, is played by blowing air into a channel and the air travels across a sharp edge.
