    different flutes played like a recorder

    The term "flute" is often used for a wind instrument in general.

    We summarize all recorder-like flutes here, i.e. flutes that are blown like a recorder.

    The mouthpiece of this flute is built as a core gap flute, which means you have a wind tunnel that is formed by the peg in the top of the flute. The wind tunnel directs the air blown in to a labium, a sharp edge on a window, so that the air breaks there and a sound is created. Recorders are quite easy to blow and are therefore often used as an introduction to the world of wind instruments.

    Of course, the classic recorders are known, such as the soprano recorder, which is usually used as the first school recorder. But many traditional flutes are also built as recorders, whether from simple reeds or from sheet metal like the Irish Tin Whistle. The ocarina as a vessel flute is just as much a part of the recorder as the bone flute, the native Indian flute or the one-handed flute like the tabor pipe. Even the overtone flute, which has no finger holes, is blown like a recorder.

    What goes beyond that are the travers flute or notch flutes. These flutes have simpler mouthpieces and are blown differently accordingly.

    reed flutes

    A flute from India cut from a piece of reed. According to a traditional tuning, it has only six finger holes and can therefore be played just like the tin-whistle. A good alternative to the tin-whistle with a slightly smokier and warmer sound.
    The large flutes with a low pitch are a particularly favourable alternative to the low-whistle.

    In addition to the recorders, reed flutes of the same type are also available as traverse flutes.

    We offer the following keys for recorders and flutes:
    high register in g (21 cm long), f sharp, f, e, d sharp, d (29 cm long), c sharp, c (33 cm long), b and b flat
    low register in a, g sharp, G (43 cm), F and E (54 cm).

    The low flutes from tuning G upwards take some practice in terms of fingering and are difficult or impossible to play with small hands.

    These simple flutes are quite cleanly tuned, but the fundamental tone can deviate by up to a quarter tone.
