Music with Mr Tucker

 Flute 

The Flute was created in 1830 and was used in Courtly music and saw use as a military signalling and marching tool. The flute sounds like a humming, light , and poetic piece of music. 

 

You play the flute by holding it sideways with both hands and blowing across a hole in the mouthpiece, much like blowing across the top of a bottle. Your fingers open and close the keys, which changes the pitch.Early flutes were made with hand-forged keys. The modern method is usually die casting. Molten metal is forced under pressure into steel dies. A group of connected keys may be made in one piece

There are many different types of flutes like

Piccolo, C flute, Eb soprano flute, Alto flute, and bass flute.

Modern versions of this flute are still used in the Middle East today. The ancient Greeks used panpipes, probably indirectly influenced by more sophisticated Chinese versions. The transverse flute was used in Greece and Etruria by the second century b.c. and later appeared in India, China, and Japan.Famous Flute players

Some things I like about this piece is how they all come to a great harmonise.  

Something I dislike is how long the performances go for.
