117Fluepipes. Those organ-pipes (metal as well as wooden) which are made to sound by forcing the wind through a slit (the wind-way) at the top of the foot, and against a sharp edge (the upper lip), which divides the wind, part of which only enters the body of the pipe. The fluework is the aggregate of such pipes.
119Flute. An organ-stop of the flue species, the tone of which resembles that of the flute.
121Flute. There are two kinds of flute: the flûte à bec (beak flute), or direct flute, and the flûte traversière, or cross flute: the former has a plugged mouthpiece at one end of the tube, the latter is blown through a lateral hole. Excepting the flageolet, the flûte à bec has entirely disappeared, at least among the art-producing European nations. The instrument understood when we now speak of the flute is the cross flute, also called German flute. 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. As improved by Boehm, it has a compass from c' to c''''. Music for this instrument, which is one of the most important members of the orchestra, is written as it sounds. 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. The so-called flute of ancient Greek music was not a true flute, but a sort of imperfect oboe. Of the same nature, probably, were the double flutes,
