How many strings does a flute have?
To be honest with you, that question really does not make any sense. I will say that in the flute's bars that are attached to the keys, there is quite a lot of machinery, as so I have heard. All I can say is that it is a possibility, yet if there is a string, it will be inside the bar to work all that machinery.
What kind of instrument is a flute?

What are the advantages of a wooden flute?
I've played both but mainly the metal one more often. The wooden one gives a more asian-ish sound to it while the metal one is just a plian normal sounding flute. An example of this is in one of the final fantasy songs, they used a wooden flute instead of a metal one because since final fantasy is japanese, (i think), they used a wooden flute.
Hope that helps :)

This is a loaded question.
There are tons of different flute brands out there and each has it's own charictaristics. This answer will change for every person that you talk to. For example, I play a Pearl, and I love it. Other people would rather run a Pearl over with a car, than play it. Some people swear by Gemeindhart, I would rather run one over with a car.
I can give you a list of some flute brands that I find to be fantasticly reliable and that have good tone and characteristics.
Mateki; Sankyo; Yamaha; Pearl; Sonare; Lyric; Mirumatsu; Miyazawa to name a few
One thing that is mostly universal with "good" flutes; Japanese. However, exceptions to this rule do include the James Taylor (internationally acclaimed) and the Powell, and you will find others. And DON'T assume that because it's Japanese, it's good. The exceptions go both ways. (IF YOU'RE A FLUTE PLAYER OUT THERE AND I DIDN'T NAME YOUR FAVORITE BRAND, FORGIVE ME. I'M JUST TRYING TO GIVE AS SHORT OF AN OVER VIEW AS I CAN, WHILE STILL PROVIDING GOOD INFORMATION)
The key to finding a "good" flute, is take the time to do your homework. Go somewhere that has a vast selection to choose from with flute experts to help you understand each difference (open hole vs closed, split 'E' vs not, offset 'G' vs inline, etc). Most of these characteristics are the player's preference and there is no "wrong" answer, so long as what you choose is reliable, with good tone, and responds to YOU and YOUR playing style. Plan on taking a couple hours out of your day to play-- indepth, don't just fiddle around-- each flute and find the one the feels and sounds best to you for your purposes.
Also, if you're looking for something nicer than a beginner flute, plan on spending AT LEAST $1300 (USD 2009). "Professional" flutes will start around $3000 (if you're lucky). Don't be scared to scrutinize even the most expensive flutes. Just because it costs $10,000 doesn't mean it's worth that much for YOUR purposes. Take into account your financial abilities as well as what you're using it for. If you're playing Carnegie and the flute is your source of income, the higher priced flute will make more sense to you than if you're say (like me) a broke college student that is a music major, but not going into performance. My $1500 Pearl will carry me as far as I'll need to go, but it may or may not for someone else.
Summary: A flute purchase is a very personal thing. Please be prepared.
I think Armstrong is very good. also vento. For begginers I didn't like geminhert so much
When was the modern day flute created?
Theobald Boehm evolved the flute and fingering system we currently use. But no one is sure who made the first flute, as they believe the first one dated back some 43,000 years, and was discovered in Slovenia. With something that old, it's doubtful if we'll ever know much more than we do.\
also he invented the flute in 1847
the first flute was not really a flute the first one made was a recorder and the recorder just slowly evolved into the flute
Flutes are most often made of silver, but can have any combination of silver, gold, nickel, platinum, and rosegold. The materials in order of price (lowest to highest) is: Nickel, silver plated, solid silver, rosegold, gold, and platinum. Silver is often considered the most reasonable price for the quality you will get, and many believe the sound is the most versatile. Gold is sometimes considered to have a warmer sound. Nickel is usually only used on student model flutes. Rosegold combines the warmth of gold and the versatility of silver into a unique timbre. It is cheaper than pure gold and many people like the combination of these two metals. Platinum is VERY expensive and most people only have small parts of their flutes made of platinum. It is considered good for articulation.
They are made of the same materials as they were 4,000 years ago plus some new materials. The only difference is the tooling. Those guys can now cut the wood precisely enough to make the flute be tuned perfectly. In the old days they used bamboo and cedar mostly. Now they are made from any type of wood and even PVC. Some new flutes are very exotic and can cost thousands. My flutes cost about $150 and they are cedar, cherry, PVC and mesquite.
