Vintage artley flute elkhart ind6/18/2023 ![]() ![]() But elongating the flute this way also caused problems. In fact, this is where the separate foot joint was first introduced, allowing the flute to play as low as c 1 or b 1. Early attempts at extending range only slightly adjusted the size of the flute. The types of flutes we find in the modern flute family especially started to develop in the 18 th century, with solo players who wanted to extend the range the flute could play. If you’re a serious flute player – or just like to try new things and have a little fun – you may want to consider expanding your abilities to include other types of flutes in the modern flute family. Variety in flutes is not a new thing – flutes have been around for centuries, and transverse flutes, flutes that are held horizontal across the body rather than vertically, are illustrated in art as early as the Renaissance. Flutists start out learning the C flute, and, if interested, add to their skills later by learning to play another type of flute from the flute family. The concert flute, or C flute, is what we think of when someone mentions the flute, and it is certainly the most widely played instrument in the flute family.
