I've played silver flute so much I gave myself a ringing in the ear if I hear something around 1000hz. Big fan now of the alto and wood flutes, as they round out the tone or make it richer in texture than most silver flutes. Irish flute, Asian bamboo flutes, alto, Indian bamboo flute, there are many choices.
Hi. Which one is the “Jazz flute? “ i want tj but a jazz flute but not sure which key to buy it in. Our jazz flute like harmonicas where they have different keys? I guess they are not like a piano where you have multiple keys? I’m completely new to this. Thanks for your answers
@@user-wo4vo5nz8e I have been playing for 3 years now and I’m getting a new flute soon but the one I have been using is a old one Yamaha 211 good flute I recommend getting if ur beginning 212 the new one ☝️
I play music but I'm not on a flute, so it's cool to hear about other musician's instruments, how they function etc. Especially the history behind them. Ilove seeing the precursors to our modern day instruments. Like you said, you get a better sense of earlier pieces that you wouldn't have had otherwise with modern innovations. Great video, would love to learn more!
koZmo .seVen koZmo .seVen Thank you so much! There are so many wonderful resources out there to learn more about all sorts of different instruments. I'm working on some new videos, but in the mean time, to learn a little about the history of classical music, check out my TEDx Talk: ruclips.net/video/mWdk0-9ZpCQ/видео.html and let me know what you think!
Emi Ferguson You did a TEDx talk? Wow, what a cool opportunity! Thank you for linking me to it, you had a great presentation and I wholeheartedly agree with the points you made. Myself, being a non-classically trained guitar player, have gotten pretty used to music being an organic, informal thing to enjoy and share with everyone. When I began to drift into experimenting with other instruments like piano, [and subsequently classical music], it was a bit jarring at how... "locked away" the music was. I completely understand reverence and respect for the work of legendary composers, but I feel our own preservation of their work has skewed the ways in which we view it today. It's like you said, the enjoyment of music is part of our human nature, we need that visceral response, that emotional connection, for it's what made these classical pieces in the first place. I'm sure I could go on but I've already typed a lot for a RUclips comment. Thank you Ms. Emi, I love these kinds of topics. -Ryan
Find the biography of Theobald Boehm. Pardon my spelling. He spent his life reengineering the flute as he had perfect pitch and found the intonation of the many non standard wooden flutes of the time. The modern 21st century flutes are essentially hus creation with minor refinements.
When I first started 4 years ago I started with a closed flute, but then I was offered to trade it in two years later for a more advance open flute. That's what I play today. An open flute is definitely something you have to get use to. It creates a beautiful sound. All flutes do. That's just how I started. I hope this helps but I've only been playing for four years so I'm not an expert. :D
Hi Emi. You can enjoy the tranquil sounds of the Native American flute on www.youtube.com. Just google “Native American flute music” and any number of selections will appear on youtube. The Native American flute is one of the easiest woodwind instruments to master, as it requires very little embouchure to play. It can be made from various materials, but Cedar is the preferred wood. The Native American flute plays in the treble clef; and depending on the flute, it can play the pentatonic scale and the chromatic scale. But the best way to play is just freely improvise melodies.
+Christopher Tsiliacos Native American Flutes are great. I have quite a few. They aren't necessarily in the treble clef. They come in a big range of keys, and you do get bass ones too, but I do agree that they are perfect for improvisation., and perfect beginner's flutes as anyone can play them and they will sound great almost regardless of what you do. They are not the best for learning and mastering the more formal side of music, but the best for just playing for pure enjoyment.
+Hakon Soreide - Thanks. I didn't know that some Native American flutes are designed to play in the bass clef. I play the standard concert flute, the pan flute and the fife flute, among other instruments. But I prefer not to read music with the Native American flute. As you said, and I concur, "...they are perfect for improvisation."
+i'm Ali shah surani I showcase a lot of flutes in this video, however they are all Western flutes of some kind. Unfortunately I am not an expert on Indian Bamboo flutes but do love hearing them! Hopefully I can learn more about them :)
The idea of a flute developed separately around the world and not just on a single area such as india. If it had been the very origin shouldn't India have the most advanced flutes?
@@michaelmichaels4614 My recorder never sounded like that. 😳 Did you mean the longer fatter black and white recorder? I can't remember what it's called, without googling it. 🤔 (Alto recorder. I was thinking bass recorder, but that looks like a broken recorder 😳)
You play beautifully Emi. I am new to the flute and I want to get a modern flute, but I am confused about whether I should get a closed or open flute and which brand would be affordable yet still have good tone, do you have any suggestions? Thank you!
Hi Emi! I've always wanted to learn how to play the flute, I used to play the recorder flute as a kid but never took real lessons. Is it to late for a 25-year old to learn? Thank you!
+Laura Padilla HI Laura - absolutely not! The great thing about music is that one can learn to do it at any age. Having played recorder will definitely help you as there are some similarities. Sometimes it can be a little frustrating at first as you get the hang of things (also the older I am the more I seem to expect instant results...so there is that kind of frustration too) but if you find the right teacher and put in a little bit of practice each day you'll be playing all sorts of great music in no time! You should definitely start
Hey! I have been playing flute for two years now and I'm really good for my age if I do say so myself. Anyway, over the summer I plan on buying a new flute, I'm currently looking at Yamaha 600 series, Powell Sonare, and Miyazawa 102. My budget is about 3500. I think I will end up buying the flute from fluteworld.com. What do you think of my choices and what do you think I should get of those three and do you recommend any other brands?
Hi Rosemary. Buying a flute is so personal that if you can, I would recommend trying out a flute from each of those companies to see if one really suits you well. Fluteworld (and other flute shops) often let people try flutes out and it is definitely worth a shot to ask.
Rosemary Crafting Dang I'm jealous!! I've been playing the flute for 9 years and was able to get my Yamaha 677 2 years ago! You're a lucky duck!!! And just to let you know, I LOVE mine! I purchased it from fluteworld and it's great!
"In the hearts of all mankind, of whatever race or station in life, there are inexpressible longings for something they do not now possess. This longing is implanted in the very constitution of man by a merciful God, that man may not be satisfied with his present conditions or attainments, whether bad, or good, or better. God desires that the human shall seek the best, and find it to the eternal blessing of his soul. Satan, by wily scheme and craft, has perverted these longings of the human heart. He makes men believe that this desire may be satisfied by pleasure, by wealth, by ease, by fame, by power; but those who have been thus deceived by him ( they number myriads) find all these things pall upon the sense, leaving the soul as barren and unsatisfied as before. It is God's design that this longing of the human heart should lead to the One who alone is able to satisfy it. The desire is of Him that it may lead to Him, the fullness and fulfillment of that desire. That fullness is found in Jesus the Christ, the Son of the Eternal God. "For it was the good "pleasure of the Father that in Him should all the fullness dwell;" "for in Him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily."

I've got a Trevor James, but also have a nice silver Selmer. The Selmer is very good in the higher registers, but the Trevor James is my favorite, as it is a general good all rounder, easy to play flute. Yamaha flutes can be good , but best to buy carefully secondhand. Many models , so be sure to source a good one.
Very interesting! I wish there was a baroque piccolo as I hear it a bit in music I listen to but there seems to be very limited information about it online
+Emi, I really enjoyed your informative video, especially the way you articulated the various flutes as to their mechanical functions and intonations and their historical periods in world history. On the subject of "gorgeous and haunting sounds," any thoughts on the Native American flute?
+Christopher Tsiliacos Hi Christopher. Thanks for your note. Unfortunately I do not know much about the Native American flute, but have always loved hearing it. Do you have any suggestions of whom to listen to?
You play beautifully and you are also hot.... Great combination. I am attempting to play my six hole bamboo flute that I bought at an art festival cause I had been drinking all day 🍺. Now I have to play it.
What are the pieces she plays during the video, especially the piece she plays at the beginning and the one she plays during the baroque flute demonstration??? Thanks
I heard a soundtrack of the movie ''treasure planet'' called ''silver leaves'' and i found that melody so beautiful that i'd like to start playing the flute, can you help me by giving the name of that kind of flute?
Hi. Which one is the “Jazz flute? “ i want tj but a jazz flute but not sure which key to buy it in. Our jazz flute like harmonicas where they have different keys? I guess they are not like a piano where you have multiple keys? I’m completely new to this. Thanks for your answers
This is actually quite a complicated question. Let’s try to unpack it. There are many instruments that are available in multiple keys which are determined by how long the tube of the instrument is - we call these transposing instruments. For example: Bb clarinet (longer tube than Eb clarinet = lower pitch, BUT shorter tube than A clarinet = higher pitch) A clarinet (longer tube than Bb = lower pitch) Eb clarinet (shorter tube = higher pitch) Eb saxophone (alto) (shorter tube = higher pitch) Bb saxophone (tenor) (longer tube = lower pitch) These are called transposing instruments because the frequency of the pitches played is different (a transposition) from the note that is written. For the instruments above, if a person playing a Bb clarinet sees a “C” written in the music, and fingers a C on the instrument, the pitch that is heard is actually the frequency of a Bb, a whole step lower. So… If you finger a middle C on… Bb clarinet - you hear a Bb (major second below middle C) A clarinet - you hear an A (minor third below middle C) Eb clarinet - you hear an Eb (minor third above middle C) Why do this? Many transposing instruments are members of instrument families that include lots of different sizes of those instruments (historically called consorts). This occurred because musicians and audiences liked how you could extend the range, timbre, and colors, by either “blowing up” or “shrinking” an instrument. So that performers didn’t have to use different fingerlings each time they switched instrument sizes, the concept of “transposing” was used. Music would be transposed from “C” (even if it is not in the key of C, music, in a neutral, non-transposed state is referred to as “in C” or “concert pitch”) to fit the transposition of the instrument it was written for so that the performer would have greater ease. So - if as a composer you are writing for Bb clarinet and you want to hear the pitch Bb, you would write the note on the page as a C (a whole step above). If you wanted to hear the note C, you would write the note on the page as a D (thus the performer would “finger” a D, but because the instrument is a transposing instrument in Bb, it would sound as a C.) *Recorder players are some of the few who use different fingerings each time they switch to a differently pitched recorder! Even though a clarinet might be in Bb, it doesn’t mean that they can only play in the key of Bb - in fact, they can play in any key! The term “Bb clarinet” just refers to the length of the instrument/tube, also known as the transposition of the instrument. Throughout history, there have been many transposing flutes as people had different tube lengths they were interested in playing. Today, the most commonly used transposing flutes are: Alto Flute (in G) - when you finger a “C”, the pitch you hear is a G, a fourth below. Bass flute (in C) - this flute is in C, but it is an octave lower than the regular flute. The notes produced are an octave lower than the written notes on the page. Piccolo (in C) - this flute is also in C, but is an octave higher than the regular flute. The notes produced are an octave higher than the written notes on the page. You can play in all 24 major and minor keys on all of these flutes. So - in your search for a jazz flute, all you need to look for is a regular, “C flute”. Luckily, jazz flute players and classical flute players play the same instruments, so there is also no difference there. How does this relate to a piano? As you mentioned, it is possible to play in multiple keys (all of them in fact!) on the piano. The piano is generally not referred to as a transposing instrument, or that it is “in a key” because its music is mostly written “in C” (not in the key of C! But as a “C instrument” or in “concert pitch”). However! A piano that is tuned to 415 hz (a half step below 440) could be considered a transposing instrument. If you wanted to have the pianist at 415 play in unison with another pianist on an instrument tuned to 440, the music that the 415 pianist would have to play would have to be written a half step higher on the page. This sometimes happens when you have two keyboard players - one playing a harpsichord or an organ (often tuned to 415) and another playing a piano (usually tuned to 440). How does this relate to harmonicas? This is a different can of worms that is quite different to all the discussion above and has to do with how the harmonica is tuned. Hopefully this helps a little bit in your search for a flute! This is all quite complicated and can be frustrating to read about/grasp for many professional musicians. The most important thing for you to know is that the flute you are looking for is not transposing and that all you need look for is a "C flute".
I'm looking to get my first flute, I want something basic, as I am just learning but I also want a high quality instrument, can someone refer me to a high quality, warm and vibrant flute that doesn't have too many complex parts? (also I've been playing bass and drums for 5 years now so I am an experienced musician)
best flute type is modern flute and baroque flute.... wow your really good at flute.... i had to say lots of flautist today are playing the flute incorrectly... they trying to imitate other instrument.. which is wrong a flute should sound open and smooth just like you do.... by the way your a hot flautist....
Hi Emi, what is a flute that has the round, sweet tone of a Baroque flute but easier to play chromatically, and at modern pitch? If there isn't one, do you know why they don't make one? It has such a beautiful sound!
Shirish Malhotra I might recommend a modern flute made of wood - most flute companies make them and many wonderful players use them for their sweet tone. Unfortunately there isn't anything quite like what you're asking about that gets the kind of sound the Baroque flute does. You might want to check out flutes by Jean-Francois Beaudin (www.flute-beaudin.com/Beaudin_Flute.html) I've never played one but it seems as if they may be stable at 440 unlike may other baroque flutes. Good luck and let me know if you find anything!
Hi, my name is Mason, I've been playing for 8 years and was looking at college level flutes. What is some Brands and models you would recommend to someone entering college?
+Mason Moore HI mason. The most important thing is finding the right flute for you. I've been lucky that I found one that has worked for me for a long time, and my advice would be to try out several different brands to see which you like best and what price range fits your budget. The Flute Center of New York (NYC) and Flutistry (Boston) are two flute shops where you would be able to try a wide range of different instruments and brands. If you are located in the Northeast I'd definitely check them out, but I imagine there are flute shops that are like FCNY and Flutistry in your area as well.
gegrillte Pommes Hi! It is Casterede's 5th Etude. You can buy his book of Etudes, or a quick google search often brings up some music. Enjoy! It is a really beautiful piece.
Was that Stravinsky at 4:29? If it was, then cool. So, a quick question, The Alto Flute changes what exactly inside of the ensemble group while the "standard" Flute plays? Nice video overall btw you have beautiful sound.
Excellent video, amazing playing!! Emi---you are my new hero!! BTW, what are the pieces you are playing in the beginning and at the end of the video? Please pardon my ignorance…I'm just a cellist… Also, I would love to get a baroque flute like yours---who is it made by? And why is it so much better intonation-wise than the following classical flute?
+wakeupchamp thank you! pieces are: Casterede "Etude no.5", then Bach's Allemande from Partita 1013 for baroque flute, and then Berio's "Sequenza" at the end. In the video, I am playing a flute made by Martin Wenner. Intonation-wise, the baroque flute has a lot more pitch "problems" because of the cross-fingerings you have to use (the modern flute helps to correct this with the additional keys) but perhaps what you're hearing is that it is actually pitched at a=415, so a half step lower, which changes the feeling and timbre quite a bit. However, because it is a system with only one key there is a great deal of flexibility with the pitch and it is up to the player to nuance it.
+Emi Ferguson Actually, what I was trying to say is that I like the pitch of the baroque flute better than that of the wooden classical flute you followed it with. So the baroque flute is made by Martin Wenner?
I've played silver flute so much I gave myself a ringing in the ear if I hear something around 1000hz.

thank you!
+Emi, I really enjoyed your informative video, especially the way you articulated the various flutes as to their mechanical functions and intonations and their historical periods in world history. On the subject of "gorgeous and haunting sounds," any thoughts on the Native American flute?
+Christopher Tsiliacos Hi Christopher. Thanks for your note. Unfortunately I do not know much about the Native American flute, but have always loved hearing it. Do you have any suggestions of whom to listen to?
+Emi Ferguson R. Carlos Nakai
+Sshooter444 Excellent choice!
omg.. i wish i can afford one ,... i'm saving for two monthes for
the cheap bambow flute .. :( .
Hazem Darwish you can always make your own one. Check this out: www.instructables.com/id/Making-Simple-PVC-Flutes/
The last piece sounded as if it was the sound track for a horror movie. I need music that helps me relax or puts me in a good mood.
You can hear any Indian classical piece
partita on boroque something i havent heard !!
Great job!
You play beautifully and you are also hot.... Great combination. I am attempting to play my six hole bamboo flute that I bought at an art festival cause I had been drinking all day 🍺. Now I have to play it.
I am looking to play something that is fairly similar to the recorder. Something that plays the melody of a song very well. Any suggestions?
wow nice flute
Indian flute entered the chat:
Modern flute left the chat
(But all other classical ones stays)
What are the pieces she plays during the video, especially the piece she plays at the beginning and the one she plays during the baroque flute demonstration??? Thanks
She's playing the first movement of the Bach Partita in a minor on the baroque flute. The others I don't recognize.
+Jonathan Davies the last one is Sequenza I by Luciano Berio

Thank u Maoyu Wang ^^
Hi. Which one is the “Jazz flute? “ i want tj but a jazz flute but not sure which key to buy it in. Our jazz flute like harmonicas where they have different keys? I guess they are not like a piano where you have multiple keys? I’m completely new to this. Thanks for your answers
This is actually quite a complicated question. Let’s try to unpack it.
There are many instruments that are available in multiple keys which are determined by how long the tube of the instrument is - we call these transposing instruments. For example:
Bb clarinet (longer tube than Eb clarinet = lower pitch, BUT shorter tube than A clarinet = higher pitch)
A clarinet (longer tube than Bb = lower pitch)
Eb clarinet (shorter tube = higher pitch)
Eb saxophone (alto) (shorter tube = higher pitch)
Bb saxophone (tenor) (longer tube = lower pitch)
These are called transposing instruments because the frequency of the pitches played is different (a transposition) from the note that is written. For the instruments above, if a person playing a Bb clarinet sees a “C” written in the music, and fingers a C on the instrument, the pitch that is heard is actually the frequency of a Bb, a whole step lower. So…
If you finger a middle C on…
Bb clarinet - you hear a Bb (major second below middle C)
A clarinet - you hear an A (minor third below middle C)
Eb clarinet - you hear an Eb (minor third above middle C)
Why do this?
Many transposing instruments are members of instrument families that include lots of different sizes of those instruments (historically called consorts). This occurred because musicians and audiences liked how you could extend the range, timbre, and colors, by either “blowing up” or “shrinking” an instrument. So that performers didn’t have to use different fingerlings each time they switched instrument sizes, the concept of “transposing” was used. Music would be transposed from “C” (even if it is not in the key of C, music, in a neutral, non-transposed state is referred to as “in C” or “concert pitch”) to fit the transposition of the instrument it was written for so that the performer would have greater ease. So - if as a composer you are writing for Bb clarinet and you want to hear the pitch Bb, you would write the note on the page as a C (a whole step above). If you wanted to hear the note C, you would write the note on the page as a D (thus the performer would “finger” a D, but because the instrument is a transposing instrument in Bb, it would sound as a C.)
*Recorder players are some of the few who use different fingerings each time they switch to a differently pitched recorder!
Even though a clarinet might be in Bb, it doesn’t mean that they can only play in the key of Bb - in fact, they can play in any key! The term “Bb clarinet” just refers to the length of the instrument/tube, also known as the transposition of the instrument.
Throughout history, there have been many transposing flutes as people had different tube lengths they were interested in playing. Today, the most commonly used transposing flutes are:
Alto Flute (in G) - when you finger a “C”, the pitch you hear is a G, a fourth below.
Bass flute (in C) - this flute is in C, but it is an octave lower than the regular flute. The notes produced are an octave lower than the written notes on the page.
Piccolo (in C) - this flute is also in C, but is an octave higher than the regular flute. The notes produced are an octave higher than the written notes on the page.
You can play in all 24 major and minor keys on all of these flutes. So - in your search for a jazz flute, all you need to look for is a regular, “C flute”. Luckily, jazz flute players and classical flute players play the same instruments, so there is also no difference there.
How does this relate to a piano?
As you mentioned, it is possible to play in multiple keys (all of them in fact!) on the piano. The piano is generally not referred to as a transposing instrument, or that it is “in a key” because its music is mostly written “in C” (not in the key of C! But as a “C instrument” or in “concert pitch”).
However! A piano that is tuned to 415 hz (a half step below 440) could be considered a transposing instrument. If you wanted to have the pianist at 415 play in unison with another pianist on an instrument tuned to 440, the music that the 415 pianist would have to play would have to be written a half step higher on the page. This sometimes happens when you have two keyboard players - one playing a harpsichord or an organ (often tuned to 415) and another playing a piano (usually tuned to 440).
How does this relate to harmonicas?
This is a different can of worms that is quite different to all the discussion above and has to do with how the harmonica is tuned.
Hopefully this helps a little bit in your search for a flute! This is all quite complicated and can be frustrating to read about/grasp for many professional musicians. The most important thing for you to know is that the flute you are looking for is not transposing and that all you need look for is a "C flute".
Nice video! A shame that the wooden irish flute didn't make it in the video...
They go to the side that what makes them different
I'm looking to get my first flute, I want something basic, as I am just learning but I also want a high quality instrument, can someone refer me to a high quality, warm and vibrant flute that doesn't have too many complex parts? (also I've been playing bass and drums for 5 years now so I am an experienced musician)
I play the concert flute and working on alto flute
best flute type is modern flute and baroque flute.... wow your really good at flute.... i had to say lots of flautist today are playing the flute incorrectly... they trying to imitate other instrument.. which is wrong a flute should sound open and smooth just like you do.... by the way your a hot flautist....
could we know that Bach piece bwv number please at time 1:36 it is beautifully played thank you
The Allemande from Bach's Partita in A Minor, BWV 1013
Can you play every flute?
Hi Emi, what is a flute that has the round, sweet tone of a Baroque flute but easier to play chromatically, and at modern pitch? If there isn't one, do you know why they don't make one? It has such a beautiful sound!
Shirish Malhotra I might recommend a modern flute made of wood - most flute companies make them and many wonderful players use them for their sweet tone. Unfortunately there isn't anything quite like what you're asking about that gets the kind of sound the Baroque flute does. You might want to check out flutes by Jean-Francois Beaudin (www.flute-beaudin.com/Beaudin_Flute.html) I've never played one but it seems as if they may be stable at 440 unlike may other baroque flutes. Good luck and let me know if you find anything!
yeah I want one made out of gold =))
I want one made out of candy :)
Hi, my name is Mason, I've been playing for 8 years and was looking at college level flutes. What is some Brands and models you would recommend to someone entering college?
+Mason Moore HI mason. The most important thing is finding the right flute for you. I've been lucky that I found one that has worked for me for a long time, and my advice would be to try out several different brands to see which you like best and what price range fits your budget. The Flute Center of New York (NYC) and Flutistry (Boston) are two flute shops where you would be able to try a wide range of different instruments and brands. If you are located in the Northeast I'd definitely check them out, but I imagine there are flute shops that are like FCNY and Flutistry in your area as well.
+Emi Ferguson I actually am from Southeast Ohio. I plan on going to COFA soon in Columbus.
amazing Video!
Emi Ferguson What are you playing in the beginning, and do you know where we can find this as sheet music?
Thanks
gegrillte Pommes Hi! It is Casterede's 5th Etude. You can buy his book of Etudes, or a quick google search often brings up some music. Enjoy! It is a really beautiful piece.
Emi Ferguson Thank you sooo mutch
Can anyone tell what is that she played in the baroque flute?
Bach partita! allemande
May I ask where the video was made?
Why I'm looking somewhere else while she's talking abt baroque 2:42 🤔
2:58: Anyone knows what it was? I heard that so many times, but not able to get the name.
cnn94001 Flute quartet by Mozart 2nd movement
What the manufacture and model of the first flute played?
João Roberto Vargas The first flute was a Bukart handmade custom flute
sarah m OK. Thanks for your attention.
João Roberto Vargas sarah m Yes - I have a Burkart head joint with a Brannen body - such a great combination!
emiflutes Great combination and wonderful flute!!
Was that Stravinsky at 4:29? If it was, then cool. So, a quick question, The Alto Flute changes what exactly inside of the ensemble group while the "standard" Flute plays? Nice video overall btw you have beautiful sound.
4:52
Ok.
I admit it.
I'm definitely jealous.
Are you professional ?( désolée si je fais des fautes d'anglais je suis française.)
Oui! Écoutez mon CD Amour Cruel (sur Spotify ou Apple Music). Je pense que vous aimerez peut-être parce que les chansons sont en français. :)
J. Casterede- etude n.5 :)
Excellent video, amazing playing!! Emi---you are my new hero!! BTW, what are the pieces you are playing in the beginning and at the end of the video? Please pardon my ignorance…I'm just a cellist… Also, I would love to get a baroque flute like yours---who is it made by? And why is it so much better intonation-wise than the following classical flute?
+wakeupchamp thank you! pieces are: Casterede "Etude no.5", then Bach's Allemande from Partita 1013 for baroque flute, and then Berio's "Sequenza" at the end. In the video, I am playing a flute made by Martin Wenner. Intonation-wise, the baroque flute has a lot more pitch "problems" because of the cross-fingerings you have to use (the modern flute helps to correct this with the additional keys) but perhaps what you're hearing is that it is actually pitched at a=415, so a half step lower, which changes the feeling and timbre quite a bit. However, because it is a system with only one key there is a great deal of flexibility with the pitch and it is up to the player to nuance it.
+Emi Ferguson Actually, what I was trying to say is that I like the pitch of the baroque flute better than that of the wooden classical flute you followed it with. So the baroque flute is made by Martin Wenner?
Yes! Martin Wenner - he makes gorgeous instruments
What is the song that starts around 2:58 ?
Holy shit, finally found it! It's mozart flute quartet in d major k. 285
