Flute-sound-damping system - has insert protruding into blow hole and deflecting part of air current from hole

摘要

The air current generating the sound is divided by an insert (1) protruding into the blow hole. This deflects part of the sound away from the latter. The insert reduces the free cross-section of the hole. It can have a portion outside the latter, with wing portions (3) on the edge towards the player. ADVANTAGE - No tone alteration and does not render flute cumbersome.
