In a musical instrument, such as a flat top guitar, having a sound chamber defined by a back, sides, and a soundboard, a beveled portion is generally placed in the bass side of the lower bout of the instrument. The beveled portion has one or more openings, or flutes, which are small, tube-like openings, half-rounded apertures or other penetrations extending from the interior to the exterior of the sound chamber. The bevel flutes are visually pleasing, and emit sound waves generally toward the ear of the musician.
