Flute, brief description — Vienna Symphonic Library

VISIT SITE >

“The concert flute is an edge-tone instrument and consists of three pieces of tubing: the headjoint, middle joint (body) and footjoint. The lip plate and embouchure are set in the conical headjoint. If the embouchure is set on a little plateau it is known as a reform embouchure. This slight elevation facilitates attack, which makes it especially popular with beginners. The upper end of the headjoint is closed by the stopper, which is movable and enables slight adjustments to intonation.”

“The flute is an extremely agile instrument which allows staccato and legato playing at the fastest tempi. It is also ideally suited for fast arpeggios as well as chromatic and diatonic scales, leaps, tremolos and trills. The changeover from staccato to legato notes is especially characteristic of the flute.”
