94Fluepipes. Those organ-pipes (metal as well
95as wooden) which are made to sound by
96forcing the wind through a slit (the wind-
97way) at the top of the foot, and against a
98sharp edge (the upper lip), which divides
99the wind, part of which only enters the body
100of the pipe. The fluework is the aggregate
101of such pipes.
102Flute. An organ-stop of the flue species, the
103tone of which resembles that of the flute.
104Flute. There are two kinds of flute: the flûte
105à bec (beak flute), or direct flute, and the
106flûte traversière, or cross flute: the former
107has a plugged mouthpiece at one end of the
108tube, the latter is blown through a lateral
109hole. Excepting the flageolet, the flûte à
110bec has entirely disappeared, at least among
111the art-producing European nations. The in-
112strument understood when we now speak of
113the flute is the cross flute, also called Ger-
114man flute. It is generally made of wood,
115sometimes of metal, and consists of a conical
116tube, stopped at its wider end, and provided
117with six fingerholes and a number of keys.
118As improved by Boehm, it has a compass
119from c' to c''''. Music for this instrument,
120which is one of the most important mem-
121bers of the orchestra, is written as it sounds.
122A small, or octave, flute, the flauto piccolo
123(with a compass from d'' to a'''; written
124d'—a''') is also sometimes used in the orches-
125tra. In military bands flutes in Eb and in
126F, and small flutes an octave higher, are to
127be met with. Now flutes are also made cy-
128lindrical and of ebonite. The so-called flute
129of ancient Greek music was not a true flute,
130but a sort of imperfect oboe. Of the same
131nature, probably, were the double flutes,
