What is Flute?
The flute is a family of classical music instruments in the woodwind group. Unlike woodwind instruments with reeds, a flute is an aerophone or reedless wind instrument that produces its sound from the flow of air across an opening.

The flute is a medium difficult instrument to learn. The flute fingerings and care of the instrument are easy to handle.
Producing sound and playing the more challenging music associated with the flute, however, is a challenge for some. Fortunately, it’s easy to work around these with the right help.
How long should a flute last?
I have seen flutes last anywhere from four to thirteen years with consistent playing before needing overhauls. Piccolos tend to last longer between overhauls.
Are older flutes better?
So there have been quite a few advances in the technology world of flute making and over the past few years they are just getting better and better – if you buy a quality flute, that is I could say. So, just so that you know – an old flute is not a better flute.
