One exemplary embodiment of a flute comprises first and second chambers in which
sound is resonated and a tonehole disposed at and shared by the first and second
chambers. The tonehole is coverable by a single finger of an operator's hand and
is configured to facilitate airflow communication from the first chamber through
the tonehole and airflow communication from the second chamber through the tonehole.
An exemplary embodiment of an ocarina comprises an instrument body having a first
chamber having a first airway through which air is received and a second chamber
having a second airway through which air is received, a top cover disposed on the
instrument body, an upper tonehole disposed through the top cover to facilitate
airflow through the first chamber and airflow through the second chamber, and a
bottom cover disposed on the instrument body. Another embodiment of a flute comprises
first and second chambers in which sound is resonated, a blowing aperture through
which air is provided into the first and second chambers, and a tonehole disposed
at and shared by the first and second chambers.
