SIMPLE SYSTEM D FLUTES

Wind Instruments > Simple System Flutes> Simple System D Flutes
The D Flute has 6 open holes, and up to 8 keys, but these are often not used, as the notes can be found by cross fingering. A slide head is useful to tune in with other players. The open hole wooden type produces a much more earthy sound than modern metal instruments, and plays easily in the keys of D, and G.
