One exemplary embodiment of a flute comprises first and second chambers in which sound is resonated and a tonehole disposed at and shared by the first and second chambers. The tonehole is coverable by a single finger of an operator's hand and is configured to facilitate airflow communication from the first chamber through the tonehole and airflow communication from the second chamber through the tonehole. An exemplary embodiment of an ocarina comprises an instrument body having a first chamber having a first airway through which air is received and a second chamber having a second airway through which air is received, a top cover disposed on the instrument body, an upper tonehole disposed through the top cover to facilitate airflow through the first chamber and airflow through the second chamber, and a bottom cover disposed on the instrument body. Another embodiment of a flute comprises first and second chambers in which sound is resonated, a blowing aperture through which air is provided into the first and second chambers, and a tonehole disposed at and shared by the first and second chambers.
