The structure of the instrument The flute can be divided into three parts: head, body and tail.

The mouthpiece is the first section of the instrument, with a blow hole on it, which is used to produce sound. The top of the mouthpiece is a flute cap, and the flute cap has a screw connected to the cork inside the mouthpiece. Rotate the flute cap to adjust the position of the cork in the flute head. Please note that the position of the cork inside the mouthpiece has been adjusted when the instrument leaves the factory. If there is no special situation, students should not turn the mouthpiece at will.

The flute body is the second segment, and the flute tail is the third segment, with sound holes and linkage buttons on it. Opening or closing the sound hole will change the height of the pronunciation.
