Summary

[edit]
Description One of the most popular types of Roman Instrument, flutes were widely available played by many people. Twin reed flutes and recorder style flutes were two of the most popular types of Roman flutes. While the recorder was fairly similar to the modern day recorder, twin reeds are no longer played. A twin reed consisted of two reeds or mini flutes, which were not connected, held together and played at the same time. The flutes derived from many previous cultures including the Ancient Greeks and the Etruscans and the Ancient Egyptians as did many other Roman instruments.
