  • This is so touching. I couldn't be prouder to say that I play flute. <3

  • Oh Mr. Galway.....

  • @PigCowMonster but think about it not just every instrument gets the melody to a song and in classic pieces or in any piece a flute will get the melody there might just be a chance when another instrument gets a solo or gets to have a melody and the flutes have to harmonize well i guess that what i'm trying to say is that whether an instrument is diff. or not they are all important even if the flute is the most soft or delicate instrument its important and yes other instruments may have a melody

  • I've been playing flute for over six years now and am proud of it! Never let anyone who plays a different instrument tell you flutes aren't important, if they do then they obviously aren't real instrumentalists. :) Go flutes!

  • contrabass flute @00:45 in the middle

  • Flutes - the best section you've never heard!

  • I like the curvy flutes. Those things are crazy looking and are probably even more fun to play xD

  • I have been playing for 4 years, (I'm a freshman) and the flute is possibly one of the most beautiful instruments in the world. This one boy that I like teases me at school for thinking the flute is just as good as a trombone (as he plays), and he says they should not have flutes in band, but I didn't get angry I just said "Flutes are just as important as trumpets, important like percussion, saxophones! Flutes, as all other instruments, make a band, a band. Without one, it still may be good, bu

  • The flute is a beautiful instrument, but i like the oboe and clarinet better only because i play those instruments. Here is how i would rate it:

  • we are flute players

  • at my school, it was mandatory to learn to play the opened-hole flute before we could use the closed hole one. it was really hard to pick up, but once i got it, I GOT IT!!

    i refuse the play the closed hole flute now.

  • 0:10 Irish flute.

    Actually a 19th century era simple-system concert flute that was phased out in favour of the Boehm-system flute that we know of today, in the 20th century. The Irish musicians picked up the simple-system flute for their playing, taking advantage of the expressiveness of the open holes, which only open holes can offer. Open holes allow for ornamentation that makes Irish music so unique sounding.

    Several Irish musicians do choose to play the modern silver flute however.

  • Also 0:28

  • Haha, I've been playing flute for 4 years...I love my flute. It's amazing :D <3

  • I believe it is a Contra-Bass Flute.

  • I really love this song. Unfortunately I can't find it. I appreciate the video and us flute players have to work really hard to sound the way we do (unless you're a horrible flute player AND you don't care). I the of flute players the veins, creativity, the magic in the musical body.

  • I've been playing flute for 7 years now and piccolo for 5 years. It's so extrodinary how much effort it takes to improve just a little bit. I started when I was 11 and I am 18, now. Many of my professors said I could really started when I was younger becuase I played so well and my sound was just so vibrant. Now since I am older and just graduated high school today. My sound is even more clearer and prettier. It's just so much effort to get flute players to an extrodinary sound that they make.

  • well i just started and im 13 so i hope that ill be better than i am now

  • Just practice, practice, practice becuase practice is what makes things perfect. :) You can do it! You can add me to friends and if you need help ask me

  • breathing long notes on flute is tooooo fuckin hard

  • Try just playing tunes with long notes in them - like Syrinx.

  • I played for a week and already playing advanced music but I have trouble breathing long notes. I'll send u a letter asking for a better breathing tecnique if u know one.

  • I've heard people get worse with practice. It is better to play, and not practice.

    But, I know what you mean.

  • i agree totally 100%. I am 12 i started at 10 in 6th grade and i am now goin in 2 th 8th grade and ive kept 1st chair throughout my whole 2nd semester of 7th grade. I don't mean to brag but many people say i am good at flute and i also think i am pretty good but i know there's always room for improvement. I hope to continue my dream throughout high school and college and i hope to enter college at juliard music school on a scholarship for music this is my dream i WILL be th best i can be
