∙ 14y agoInstead of a reed vibrating against a mouthpiece (single reed) or against itself (double reed) to produce a sound, the flutist splits the air across the tonehole on the flute's headjoint to create a vibration. This vibration produces a sound.

∙ 14y agoA flute doesn't have a reed because it would change the sound. The way you play a flute is by blowing over the mouthpiece, almost like you blow over a pop bottle.
If a flute had a reed, it would pretty much be a dwarfed Saxophone (they have nearly the same fingerings).
