	Dayton C. Miller Flute Collection: Transverse Flute Elements Named in This Catalog
		The transverse flute works most efficiently when the embouchure piece or joint has a wall thickness sufficient for the embouchure hole to be adequately undercut.
		Lip plate ferrule, DCM 0073, refers to a variation of the lip plate that encircles the head joint at the embouchure area with a sheet metal cylinder resembling the embouchure barrel and usually recessed flush with the outer surface.
		The embouchure barrel and embouchure plate of metal flute head joints may provide the player with a more attractive material for the embouchure, such as gold or gold plate, but their main purpose is to improve the acoustical properties of the instrument through greater wall thickness at the embouchure.

		The flute has circular finger-holes, various combinations of which can be opened or closed by the flautist, by means of a mechanism of keys, to produce the various notes in the flute's playing range.
