Instrument Spotlight of the Week: Flute
Fun Flute Facts:
Most flutes are made of metal, but there are some that are made out of wood.
Flutes are handcrafted musical instruments and each instrument is slightly different from other flutes. The most different part of the flute is the head joint. Different head joints can change the sound of the flute and professional flute players often try many different head joints in order to find the one that gives them the best sound. Sometimes head joints are even designed specifically for a certain musician.
