Throughout history, flutes have been made from lots of materials, including wood. Today flutes are usually made from silver, gold or some other type of metal.
This is a musical instrument played by means of a keyboard. Like a pipe organ, this may have more than one keyboard.
Harpsichord
Which family is this?
They are “aerophones” and produce a note in most cases by air passing across the reed, which causes air inside the instrument to vibrate before being amplified.
Woodwind family
Which family is this?
They use a series of value or a slide to produce the required pitch, passing the air through a longer or shorter distance of tubes.
The longer the distance, the lower the note.
Brass family
