Flutes, recorders and whistles are the only instruments in which vibrations are produced strictly from moving air. (Other woodwinds have vibrating reeds; on brass instruments, the player's lips vibrate; string instruments have strings, of course; and percussion instruments have all sorts of vibrating parts).

Flutes can produce pure tones, with very few harmonics, compared to most other instruments.

Soprano flutes are C instruments, so they can play melodies directly off piano sheet music, unlike many other instruments which require transposing. (Most other woodwinds are B-flat or E-flat instruments).
