	Vertical flute - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The vertical flute is a special variation of the standard flute, or, more specifically, the transverse flute.
		The vertical flute has a twisted bend in the utmost part of the instrument; this section bends perpendicular to the length of the rest of the flute so the player can blow into the lip plate in the same manner as a transverse flute.
		Vertical flutes are sometimes used by people with disabilities that make playing a standard flute difficult or impossible.

	Flutes
		Within the flute family, we can see a number of common characteristics in their musical and cultural role, but there is also a large amount of variation in the structure, appearance, and musical technique of the flute.
		In the vertical flute, the upper end of the pipe forms the mouth-hole, and, as indicated by its name, it is held vertically.
		The transverse flutes, of which the modern western flute is an example, are held horizontally, and the sound is produced by directing the air stream against the opposite edge of a hole in the side of the tube.

		The underlyingprinciples of both flute patterns are virtually identical, with tone holes spaced as required to produce a fully chromatic scale.The player, by opening and closing holes, adjusts the effective length of the tube, and thus the rate of oscillation, whichdefines the audible pitch.
		Flutes may be either transverse or end-blown, and their tubes may be either open or closed.
		The familiar concert flute, piccolo, fife,and Indian bansuri are examples of transverse flutes, in which air is blownfrom the mouth across a small hole at the top of the instrument.

		Flute sounds are typically open and hollow as a result of relatively weak upper partials.
		This is why police whistles, a form of flute, are very wide for their pitch, and why organs can be far louder than concert flutes: an organ pipe's tone-hole may be several inches wide, while a concert flute's is a fraction of an inch.
		Beginning flute players also often have improper embouchures: The correct embouchure is a small elliptical or slot-like hole formed by the lips and directed at the edge of the tone-hole opposite the player.

		Historical concepts of end blown vertical headjoint design had to be discarded as they proved inadequate considering that our goal was to develop a headjoint that produces tone as beautifully and easily as the modern transverse type.
		Playing your flute vertically with the UpRite headjoint is considerably easier and less stressful than playing it in its normal transverse position.
		In fact because your flute is now vertical you can actually see your fingers on the keys so that you have total visual contact with your instrument while playing.

		The sound is made by blowing in the end of the flute.
		On the standard instrument, blowing with all the fingerholes closed produces the pitch D. The range of the instrument is approximately two octaves and a fourth.
		Although no more than a bamboo vertical flute of extremely simple structure, the very simplicity of the instrument means that variations in fingering and movements of the neck, chin, lips and tongue enable the production of subtle expressive nuances involving the use of microtones and tonal variation.
