Culturally, the flute has existed for centuries and spanned continents. Musically, it is unlike other woodwind instruments in that it requires no reed to produce sound. Physically, the acoustical properties of the flute follow that of an open organ pipe and there are numerous variables that can affect the flute's sound. By gaining a fundamental understanding of the history of the flute, the physics of music, and how a flute produces sound, we can begin to look at these variables, such as material, bore, and size, and understand the physics behind the flute and piccolo. This knowledge can then be applied to our own analysis of flute and piccolo playing to examine if these conclusions hold true.
