	Flute - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, some flutes, such as the recorder, tin whistle, whistle, and ocarina have a duct that directs the air onto the edge (an arrangement that is termed a "fipple").
		Another division is between side-blown (or transverse) flutes, such as the Western concert flute, piccolo, fife, di zi, and bansuri; and end-blown flutes, such as the recorder, ney, kaval, quena, shakuhachi and tonette.
		In non-fipple flutes, especially the concert flute and piccolo, the player must form and direct the stream with his or her lips, which is called an embouchure.

	About the Flute (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The flute gives voice to the beauty of the land and is the sound of the wind as it rustles the grasses and leaves, scales the buttes and mountains, skims the surface of lakes and streams.
		Since it has been generated from four main sources: the flute player, flute maker, scholar, and audience, the major contributors in each category will be identified and their work and contributions will be discussed and compared to the same categories of the past.
		At one time, the courting flute player's audience was small and intimate, confined primarily to the one being serenaded and secondarily to family and friends.

		Particularly in the 1920's and 30's, traditional players found audiences in the taprooms and dance halls of America, as well as opportunities to record-and broadcast their music: opportunities they could never have had, however accomplished they were, in the struggling Ireland they left behind.
		Players who later, li ke McKenna, emigrated to America were Mick Conlon, and Stephen Fallon from Drumkeeran, of a musical family known for identification as the "Ruther" Fallons.
		Michael Coleman, the supremely expressive player of lyrical sweetness and sadness, and James Morrison, the master of strong rhythm and impressive technique, were bitter rivals, with New York Irish musicians sometime being forced to align themselves on one side or the other.

	Sean O'Malley's Flute Quotes
		It was not a bad idea of theirs, that the Goddess disliked the instrument because it made the face ugly; but with still more reason may we say that she rejected it because the acquirement of flute-playing contributes nothing to the mind, since to Athene we ascribe both knowledge and art.
		The mere man might attribute this to the fact that one cannot flute and talk at the same time, or possibly it may be, as a fair flautiste is recently reported to have said, because kissing is fatal to flute-playing: in such a contest it is, of course, the flute that goes under.
		You feel the flute vibrate when it is warm, and the little coin-columns of air stacked beneath your fingertips dance up and down like mercury thermometers, all registering different bouncy volatiles of temperature.
