The traditional flute is a wind instrument that is played sideways, horizontally, and produces sound through the vibration of the air column inside. There are several types of traditional flutes in the world, for example:
1. Western flute**: It is the most common variant, used in classical and modern music in Europe and other parts of the world.
2. The traditional Irish wooden flute is a wind musical instrument used in traditional Irish music. It is distinguished by its wooden construction and open key design. Often made of ebony or cocuswood, this flute emits a soft, melodic tone. Unlike the standard flute, the Irish version usually has six finger holes and is known for its ability to express ornamentations and tonal nuances characteristic of Celtic music.
3. Bansuri (India)**: An Indian bamboo flute, primarily associated with Hindu classical music.
4. Dizi (China)**: A Chinese flute that has been used throughout Chinese history, both in traditional music and modern compositions.
Each type of flute has its own tonal and cultural characteristics, adapting to the specific musical traditions of its place of origin.
