- I remember this painting from my childhood. I had subscribed to Odyssey, an astronomy magazine for children, starting sometime in ‘85 or ‘86. One evening my parents brought us kids to the public library in Stillwater, Minnesota. I was delighted to find the library had copies of the magazine from before the start of my subscription. I remember this picture. It was compelling to me. This is a B&W microfilm copy found through Anna’s Archive. I am still looking for the color version.

- Flute (Wikipedia)
The flute is a member of a family of musical instruments in the woodwind group. Like all woodwinds, flutes are aerophones, producing sound with a vibrating column of air. Unlike woodwind instruments with reeds, a flute produces sound when the player’s air flows across an opening. In the Hornbostel–Sachs classification system, flutes are edge-blown aerophones. A musician who plays the flute is called a flautist or flutist.
