Flutes use
resonant pipes to make their sound, whereas pipes use vibrating reeds. The sounding mechanisms for the two types of instrument are different. Double flutes can be divided into instruments that consist of a melody pipe matched with a drone pipe, and chord flutes in which the instruments can play the same melody at the same time in two different pitches. Some forms of double
flute include: • some types of
Native American flutes • the
Bulgarian dvoyanka • the
Indian and
Pakistani Alghoza • the
Iranian and
Pakistani Donali, pair of
fipple flutes • the Russian double
svirel, pair of fipple flutes Some forms that are reed pipes, not double flutes include: • the
ancient Greek aulos or Roman
tibia (double-reed) pipes, played in pairs. • the
Indian and
