concert flute
Standard silver flute
A concert flute is the standard flute used in orchestras and bands—the one most people picture when they hear "flute." It's a transverse (side-blown) instrument in the key of C, typically made of silver or nickel, distinguishing it from smaller flutes like the piccolo or larger ones like the alto flute.
