Additional Notes: |
|
Dutch ..... Te gebruiken voor korte, meestal schelklinkende snavelfluiten met geen of maximaal één toongat: er kan een balletje in de fluit ingesloten zitten om een rollende klank te maken. |
German ..... Kurze, üblicherweise hochgestimmte Kernspaltflöte ohne Grifflöcher oder mit nur einem Griffloch; der Korpus kann ein eingeschlossenes Kügelchen enthalten, um dem Ton einen Triller hinzuzufügen. |
Spanish ..... Usese para flautas cortas de caño, generalmente de tono agudo, sin orificios para los dedos, o no más de uno; el cuerpo puede contener una bolita cautiva para agregar una vibración al sonido. |
