Well, Split E is a special mechanism that makes jumping from second octave A to third octave E much easier!

It is a great feature of a Flute! It makes playing a lot easier and cleaner.

Have fun Tutti Flutting

On flutes without Split "E". LH3 (which operates the "G" tone hole) also closes the lower adjacent key as well. On flutes with Split "E", the lower "G" tone hole is connected to RH2, which allows for much better response on E3 (and other 3rd and 4th octave notes through the use of alternate fingerings.
