Also the flute is rarely a Böhm flute, but one with a classical bore, such as was used before the introduction of obnoxiously loud and tinny-sounding Böhm flute used in orchestras now. And it is usually one made of wood rather than the metal favored for Böhm flutes.

One can make a usable trad flute from a piece of PVC pipe and a wine cork. There are people who will do this for you. This is like a pennywhistle of flutes.
