Native American Flute
The Native American flute is a musical instrument and flute that is held in front of the player, has open finger holes,
and has two chambers: one for collecting the breath of the player and a second chamber which creates sound.
The player breathes into one end of the flute
without the need for an embouchure.
A block on the outside of the instrument
directs the player's breath from the first chamber—called the slow air chamber—into the second chamber—called the sound chamber.
The design of a sound hole at the proximal end of the sound chamber causes
air from the player's breath to vibrate.
This vibration causes a steady resonance of air pressure
in the sound chamber that creates sound.
Native American flutes comprise a wide range of designs, sizes, and variations—far more varied than most other classes of woodwind instruments.
