flute has no reed
a Flute does not have a reed so it's neither a single or double reed instrument.
They consist of a reed and mouthpiece with the exception of the Flute. Notes are created by airflow passing through the mouthpiece and reed.

No, the cello does not have a reed. It is a string instrument, and is not played using the mouth at all.
The flute is generally classified as a woodwind, although it is distinct in that it is the only major woodwind that does not have a reed. Other woodwinds include the oboe (double reed), clarinet (single reed) and saxophone (single reed).
Flutes and Piccolos don't use reeds. Also for E.C., an oboe doesn't use a reed either. :)
There is no such thing as a reed flute; flutes have an embouchure hole that you blow across, down, into the hole, above the hole or straight on the hole. If a flute were to have a reed it would be held down, like the oboe or clarinet. There are, however, wooden flutes. If you are good at fingering on the flute but blowing on the reed, I suggest an oboe, as they are a reed instrument and have a similar fingering. The oboe is a very unique instrument. There are usually about 3 in a college band. Source(s): Band Geek :)
The flute is the only woodwind instrument that does not require a reed. _____________________________ Piccolo also, to be technically correct. There may be others as well.
