Who is thoebald boehme?

  1. First of all his name is theobald boehm

Theobald Böhm (or Boehm) (April 9, 1794 -- November 27, 1881) was a German inventor and musician, who perfected the modern Western concert flute and its improved fingering system. In addition, he was a virtuoso flautist and was a Bavarian Court Musician as well as a celebrated composer for the flute.[1]

Born in Munich in Bavaria, Boehm learned his father's trade of goldsmithing. After making his own flute, he quickly became proficient enough to play in an orchestra at the age of eighteen and at twenty-one he was first flautist in the Royal Bavarian Orchestra.[2] Meanwhile, he experimented with constructing flutes out of many different materials such as tropical hardwoods (usually Grenadilla wood), silver, gold, nickel and copper as well as experimenting with changing the positions of the flute's tone holes. After studying acoustics at the University of Munich, he began experimenting on improving the flute in 1832, first patenting his new fingering system in 1847.[2] He published Über den Flötenbau ("On the construction of flutes"), also in 1847.[1] His new flute was first displayed in 1851 at the London Exhibition.[3] In 1871 Boehm published Die Flöte und das Flötenspiel ("The Flute and Flute-Playing"), a treatise on the acoustical, technical and artistic characteristics of the Boehm system flute.[1] Many people admire his work, and some of the flutes he made still function. His fingering system has also been adapted to other instruments, such as the oboe and the clarinet.[2]

The lute was developed long before the modern flute was. However, for quite some time, recorders were also referred to as "flutes," as were panflutes. These originated before the lute did.

Answer:
The earliest flute (The Divje Babe flute) is a 43,000 year old cave bear femur pierced by spaced holes that was found at the Divje Babe archeological park located near Cerkno in northwestern Slovenia. The artifact was the product of Neanderthals.
The European lute ancestors (both in name and form) comes from the Arab instrument known as al 'Ud (the wood). It was introduced into Europe by the Moors during their conquest and occupation of Spain (711-1492).
The flute is therefore the predecessor of the lute by at least 43,000 years.

Why does your flute play F sharp incorrectly?

I'm not a flute player (I play the horn), but I think I know enough to help you out. I'm assuming that "incorrectly" either means that the normal fingering doesn't work like it should and/or another fingering works better.

It's possible that the pads aren't the right size. I don't entirely know what could be happening, but if they're old or have gotten wet, you should get those checked out and possibly replaced.

Along with that, it's possible that maybe the keys aren't working right. Maybe one of the joints doesn't push a key down all the way? This is also worth checking out. This problem could be completely a manufacturing issue, and you should be able to get it fixed.

Also, what kind of flute are you using? From what I know, your flute might be made to be non-regulation. Is it old? Is it foreign? That might be worth looking into.

Hope this helps!! I hope you get someone else to help you that knows more about flutes than I do x)
