The Flute in C, also known as a concert flute, is a common orchestral instrument that is part of the woodwind family, and is made of either metal or wood. It's played transverse, which means the player holds the instrument out to the side and blows into the mouthpiece / hole to make the instrument produce a sound. The sound produced by a Flute in C is a delicate, whimsical and beautiful tone, which is part of the reason it's such a popular instrument. The Flute in C, is the most commonly played flute, and it's the one you're most likely to spot in a band or orchestra. Other instruments in the flute family include the piccolo, alto, and the bass flute, however these aren't as widely played as the concert flute, partly due to the musical opportunities and also because of the advanced techniques required. Because the Flute in C is a popular instrument, it is played widely across a variety of music styles, and in a variety of bands too. You'll find flutes in big bands, military bands, and orchestras, as well as some jazz bands too. If you're just picking up the instrument to begin learning - this is good news for you - as it means there are lots of musical avenues to explore.
