The recorder is often first associated with the flute, but in the orchestra the flute always means the flute. While the recorder was still very popular in the early baroque period, the flute soon established itself as "the flute". At that time it wasn't the modern silver flutes with many keys but simple wooden flutes without keys.
The oldest tradition of the flute is from China. Since the origin of many musical instruments lies in early cultures in Mesopotamia, one can guess that the variant of holding a flute across and blowing it through a hole on the side was more developed in the eastern countries.
In principle, a flute is built quite simply. A hollow tube, e.g. a piece of bamboo, closed at one end. A hole is drilled into the side of the tube a little next to the closure, and a transverse flute is ready. A recorder is constructed more elaborately, but easier to blow, a transverse flute is constructed simply, but more difficult to play. You have to blow the air flow over the blow hole so that the air flow hits the opposite edge of the hole and breaks there. This creates the typical sound of the flute, which is softer and richer in overtones than that of the recorder.
Older traditional travers flutes follow the 6-hole fingering. They come in many sizes and pitches.
The Chinese dizi has a special sound.
