When was it made? The flutes has been around for many years, about 40,000 years. It was first made out of wood. The very first modern flute was made in 1830.
The player holds the flute sideways and blows into the mouthpiece sort of like blowing into a bottle, from there the player covers up finger holes to make a certain sound/note.
