Chinese flutes


Chinese flutes come in various types. They include

Transverse Flutes:

End-Blown Flutes (air split directly on mouthpiece):

(Uyghur and Mongolian minorities also play a version of the Turkish ney.)

Fipple Flutes (air split through whistle flue duct):

Free-Reed flutes (use free-reed instead of splitting the airway, but otherwise play in a similar capacity to flute in terms of breath support and fingering.):

Chinese flutes are generally made from bamboo and belong to the bamboo classification of Chinese music, although they can be (and have been) made of other materials such as jade.
