Course Details

The Western concert flute, a descendant of the medieval German flute, is a transverse treble flute that is closed at the top. An embouchure hole is positioned near the top across and into which the flutist blows. 

The flute has circular tone holes larger than the finger holes of its baroque predecessors. The size and placement of tone holes, key mechanism, and fingering system used to produce the notes in the flute’s range were evolved from 1832 to 1847 by Theobald Boehm and greatly improved the instrument’s dynamic range and intonation over its predecessors. 

With some refinements and the rare exception of the Kingma system and other custom adapted fingering systems, Western concert flutes typically conform to Boehm’s design, known as the Boehm system. Beginner’s flutes are made of nickel, silver, or brass that is silver-plated, while professionals use solid silver, gold, and sometimes platinum flutes. There are also modern wooden-bodied flutes usually with silver or gold keywork. The wood is usually African Blackwood.
