One of the oldest types of instruments known to civilization. It produces sound by vibrating air throughout the length of the instrument. Flutes come in many forms, however, the most popular are end-blown and the transverse. Flutes are made with a variety of materials including wood, bamboo, various metals and even porcelain.
Some types of flutes:
Dizi -China, Transverse
Shakuhachi -Japan, End-blown
Kena -Ande's region, End-blown
Bansuri -India, Transverse

One of the best instruments to ever be played. The people that hate it either listened to some half-assed idiot's attempt at music or are jealous because they know they'll never be cool enough to play it. Can be played solo, in a band or orchestra, small ensemble, or even a rock band such as Jethro Tull. It is a dificult instument that requires many hours of practice but it's all worth it cause when you're good, you're damn good.
Females AND males can play it. And yes, straight males. Some of the best floutists are STRAIGHT males.
So stop hatin on us, 'cause you're just jealous. At least we're not obnoxious like damn trumpeteers.
Yeah, I play the flute. 'Cause I'm awesome unlike you.

the highest instrument in the band excluding the piccollo and the section that requires the least amount of instruction or watching ovr from the band director (this includes for learning visual drills when marching) so basically the only thing that keeps our band directors from commiting suicide.
contrary to popular belief flutes are not airheads also generally the most well behaved and mature section
BAND DIRECTOR(BD)-ok low brass play thru it again and trumpets shut up!(half the class later its rdy to b put w/ the melody)
BD-flutes lemme hear ur part (play it once awesomely)
BD-good now lets put it all together
BD-(while setting drill) ok everyone but u four sit down for a min(u four is a few flutes) i wanna put in this visual and since u guys r the smartest well try it w/ u first
TRUMPETS AND BRASS SHUT IT

For this definition, we will focus on a transverse flute.
Transverse flutes are medium-long, thin, and hollow. Most modern flutes are made of silver or other metals. They are comprised of 3 parts: A headjoint, a midjoint, and a footjoint. The headjoint holds the mouthpiece. The midjoint has nearly all the keys. The footjoint contains the rest of the keys. At first glance, the keys on a flute may seem overwhelming and confusing, but after a year or two of practice, you will understand them. A special extra joint can also be purchased to aid a flute in playing lower notes.
Flutes are in concert pitch, meaning that when playing a band, you do not need to transpose.
Flutes are the only woodwind with sound produced by the vibration of air, as opposed to a reed. Because of this, experienced or moderately-experience flautists can play very beautiful tones. However, inexperienced flutists can end up sounding squeaky or harsh.
As other definitions say flutes can make excellent weapons, although I prefer the long, thin, blunt object approach. The many holes from the keys do not lend the flute well to a blowgun.
If you play flute, you are very cool!
Wow, flutes, you played your part beautifully!

Flute is the best instrument there is. Better than all of the drumline. Flutes are the gods of the band. If you argue with them they will beat you will there sliver stick while playing the high G note. So don’t get on there bad side.
You can find the flutes usually with each other by the bleachers during practice sharing each other chapstick, gossiping about other band members, and who’s dating who. There the Heathers of the band. Flutes are naturally talented people and they usually know how to play another instrument, or do a sport outside of band.
Omg that flute playing is the god of all gods
