Instrument Study

The instrument that I play and studying is The Flute. The Flute is from the Wood Wind family. There are 8 parts to the flute. There is the Crown, the Head Joint, on the Head Joint there is a Lip Plate and a Embouchure Hole. There is a Tenon which is in between the Head Joint and the Body.  On the Body there is the Rod System and the Keys. And the last part of the flute is the Foot. The Flute plays in Treble Clef, and was invented in the 10th Century and was invented by no one really, since the instrument is so old no one really knows. The Flute plays in high pitch as well. The way you play a Flute isn't the typical way you play an instrument, instead of blowing into it, you blow across it. You blow across the Embouchure Hole which is on the Lip Plate. Assembling the Flute is very simple since there is only three parts that you need to put together. First you connect the Head Joint to the Body but you need to leave a finger space in between it, then you connect the Foot onto the Body. Sterilizing the mouth piece can be quite tricky because you aren't really supposed to get the Crown wet , so just clean the inside of the Head Joint, the Lip Plate and the Embouchure Hole. To maintain the Flute just gently take it out before playing it, gently put it together,gently take it apart, gently play it, and gently put it back in its case. Even tho the flute may seem like a stable instrument, I mean its made out of Copper, and sometimes even gold and silver but trust me Flutes dent and break easily , trust me I would know, I've had a few incidents before. And that is my Instrument Study on The Flute .
