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.
