A member of the woodwind family, the flute is an
aerophone or reedless wind instrument. This class of
instruments produce sound from the flow of air across
an opening. A musician who plays the flute can be
referred to as a flute player, a flautist, a flutist or
less commonly a fluter. The earliest printed use of the
word flute in the Engish language was in Geoffrey
Chaucer's "The Hous of Fame", ca. 1384.
Aside from the voice, archeology tells us that the
flute is the earliest musical instrument. A number of
such instruments have found in the Swabian Alb region
of Germany, some dating as far back as 35,000 - 43,000
years ago.
