It is generally made of wood, sometimes of metal, and consists of a conical tube, stopped at its wider end, and provided with six fingerholes and a number of keys.

A small, or octave, flute, the flauto piccolo (with a compass from d'' to a'''; written d'—a'''') is also sometimes used in the orchestra. In military bands flutes in Eb and in F, and small flutes an octave higher, are to be met with. Now flutes are also made cylindrical and of ebonite.
