Where are the holes on a flute?
The flute is not a perfect instrument. Even after tuning, a good flutist will adjust the pitch of every note according to that note's particular tendencies (i.e. some notes are always flat, others sharp, while some are flat in some situations, etc.). Holes and keys have been added over the years to make the flute more in tune, and to make certain trills and fingerings easier. This in turn makes it much easier to play. If you play a Baroque flute, you will notice a substantial increase in difficulty if you're used to a modern flute.
What has the highest pitch out of the flute and piccolo and alto flute?
The piccolo has the highest pitch, then the standard flute, and then alto.
Is a flute a low pitch or high pitch?
A flute has a high pich and a sorta low pitch. Low C or B on flute and pro flute are pretty low but high C on flute is REALLY high, but mostly it is high. If you want a really high instrument try the piccolo. If you are really good at flute go on the piccolo. Ihope I answered your question.
What makes an alto flute different from a flute?
Alto flute has a lower pitch than a normal flute.
How do you control the frequency on a flute?
Frequency is the measure of vibrations-per-second; the musical term is pitch. "Gross" control of pitch on the flute is accomplished by the use of holes in the body of the flute. In simple wooden flutes, the holes are covered by the pads of the fingers: in metal flutes and keyed flutes, keys (with soft leather or fiber pads) cover the holes. The basic concept is that the longer the tube, the lower the vibrations, hence the lower the pitch. The tube can be "overblown", selecting higher pitches based on the harmonic series. Between overblowing and fingering theholes, the flute can play many pitches (notes). For each note, the pitch can be adjusted. Rolling the flute so the embouchure hole is further from the lips tends to make the pitch drop, while rolling the flute the other way sharpens the pitch. Blowing harder, but not hard enough to leap to the next overtone, will raise pitch, while blowing more softly lowers the pitch. These two actions can be combined, because blowing harder and softer also controls the loudness of the flute. Finally, the overall pitch (tuning) of the flute can be controlled by the first joint above the fingering holes. By pulling the joint out, the flute is overall made longer, and the ovverall pitch drops. Pushing the joint in raises the overall pitch: this is how a flute is tuned. Modern metal flutes may have a mark on the tenon (the part that slips into the joint) which indicates the usually-appropriate amount to slide the joint for nominal "in tuneness", but various factors, including the player's lips, customary breath pressure, the temperature in the room and the tuning of others that the flautist is playing with, will affect the appropriate position of the tuning joint.
How is pitch changed on the flute?
Holes on the flute are covered and uncovered to change the way air passes through the instrument.
Angle at which the bowling ball finger holes are drilled?
It depends on the person's grip, style of bowling, hand strength and intention. They are termed as finger/thumb pitch.

What is the pitch of a flute?
The flute is a C pitch instrument.
Why is does a flute have a high pitch?
Because the flute has narrow holes that create a high sound. Also the length of the flute is shorter than other wind instruments. Lastly the wind pipe is thinner. Other than that, I'm OUT!! PEACE!!
What has the highest pitch out of the flute and piccolo and alto flute?
The piccolo has the highest pitch, then the standard flute, and then alto.
What is a primitive wind instrument?
The flute. The idea of a stick with holes in it has been around since the cave men. A bone was discovered in an archaeological dig, it had holes in it and two openings. It was a flute. The player would blow into one end, as the wind passed over the holes it would make a pitch, and come out as a note on the other end. Pretty interesting isn't it?

Which is a more effective pitch a three finger changeup or a circle changeup?
They can both be effective pitches. Whether a pitcher can control a pitch is the key to how effective that pitch is.
How the flute was developed?
The Flute is made in the form of an open cylindrical air column about 66 cm long. Its fundamental pitch is middle C (C4) and it has a range of about three octaves to C7. Sound is produced from a flute by blowing onto a sharp edge, causing air enclosed in a tube to vibrate. The flute as shown above is a transverse or side-blown flute. The modern flute was developed by Theobald Boehm who experimented with it from 1832 to 1847, desiring to give it a bigger tone. He finally produced a parabolic (bowl-shaped) head joint attached to a cylindrical body with open-standing keys and finger pads to cover large finger holes. There are typically 16 holes, or four more than the minimum to cover the chromatic notes of an equal-tempered octave. Since then, other minor improvements have been made. The modern flute usually has a range from middle C (C4) upward for about three octaves. In Europe flutes are often constructed of wood; silver is commonly used in the United States.
