Overtone Flute
An overtone flute is a type of a flute that is designed to play in the upper harmonics, typically well above the two or three harmonics that are the practical limit for most woodwind instruments. An overtone flute has either no tone holes,Maclagan, Susan J. (2009). ''A Dictionary for the Modern Flutist'', p.124. . or relatively few tone holes for a woodwind instrument. To make melodies, one plays it high into the overtone series. One series of harmonics is achieved by overblowing with the end of the tube open and another is achieved with the end closed:when the end of the flute is closed, the key drops by one octave and only the uneven harmonics can pop out. This means that overtone flutes without tone holes will produce mostly the notes present in the natural scale, whilst certain notes can be bended a bit by partially covering the end of the flute. Overtone flute tubes typically have a relatively long resonating chamber compared to their inner diameter or cross sectional area ...

Koncovka
The koncovka is a Slovak duct-blown overtone fipple flute without finger holes, traditionally played by shepherds. The koncovka is played by closing and opening the bottom hole of the flute. By increasing the air speed, two different harmonic series of notes can be played with the end either open or closed. Traditional koncovka melodies use the partial Lydian scale available on this instrument.

Tilinca
The telenka ( uk, Теленка) (telynka, tylynka) is an overtone flute, a primitive form of dentsivka without fingerholes. The pitch produced from the instrument is changed by placing a finger into the open end of the pipe, and covering this opening by a half or third etc. and also by the strength of the player's breath. It is made from linden, elder, sycamore or willow. Its length is approximately 35 to 40 cm (14 to 16 in), although instruments can range up to 60 cm (24 in) in length. This instrument is very common in Romania especially in the areas bordering with the Ukrainian Bukovina area where it is known as the tilinca. A Romanian tilinca without top is often confused with the Hungarian tilinko with top, which is easier to play for beginners (in a way, a Romanian kaval without fingerholes). The telenka, along with the sopilka, is a prominent instrument in Kalush Orchestra's 2022 song " Stefania", which won the Eurovision Song Contest for Ukraine. See also *Kalyu ...

Willow Flute
The willow flute, also known as sallow flute ( no, seljefløyte, sv, sälgflöjt or ''sälgpipa'', fi, pitkähuilu or ''pajupilli'', lv, kārkla stabule, lt, švilpynė), is a Nordic folk flute, or whistle, consisting of a simple tube with a transverse fipple mouthpiece and no finger holes. The mouthpiece is typically constructed by inserting a grooved plug into one end of the tube, and cutting an edged opening in the tube a short distance away from the plug. Similar but not identical instruments were made by peasants in Poland, usually using a different method described in sources as "''kręcenie''" (that nowadays means literally "rolling", at that time possibly also "drilling-gouging"), "''ukręcanie''", "''ulinianie''" (nowadays literally meaning: "making moulted"). Such instruments are mentioned in folk poems or songs. The willow flute is a type of overtone flute. It is played by varying the force of the air blown into the mouthpiece, with the end of the tube being cover ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
