ABSTRACT:
An end-blown flute comprising a hollow tube open at both ends with an embouchure at the upper end of the tube to provide an end-blown free air-reed. The tube has at least 13 tone holes through the side wall thereof, the holes being particularly spaced from the bottom of the tube so that keys can be mounted in the tube in the same pattern as on a standard transverse flute and so that the end blown flute can be played with the same fingering system used with a standard transverse flute. The embouchure has a U-shaped opening which opening which opens into the upper end of the flute and also exposes the upper forward edge of the flute tube, making it easier for the player to get into the third register.
