Soprano Flute
This distinctive sounding instrument is rarely found at present. A few American publications for flute choir currently include a part for an Eb (soprano) flute, an instrument pitched a minor third higher than the standard C flute. In these publications, an alternative part is provided either for the C Flute or for the piccolo.

Famous quotes containing the word flute:
“So the old flute was doomed and its fate was pathetic,
‘Twas fastened and burned at the stake as heretic,
While the flames roared around it they heard a strange
noise—
‘Twas the old flute still whistling ‘The Protestant Boys’.”
—Unknown. The Old Orange Flute (l. 37–40)
