THE FRAMERS OF THE FLUTE IN FRANCE IN A HISTORIC PROCESS

As part of the historical process, flutists in France mainly used wood as the main material for manufacture. As notions of music developed, the instrument's change continued primarily with the use of various materials for fabrication, and then with the development of the oral department, key holes, and the key system. In the second half of the XIX th century, Boehm's important invention in the flute mechanism was a new era for the flute instrument. From this period silver flutes with Boehm mechanism were developed. In the course of historical research related to the study of flutists in France, a study of literature in foreign sources was carried out, as well as thematic theses, articles and books were considered. According to available sources, 31 flutists (companies and families) were introduced in France in the XVI th and XX th centuries, and some of them contributed to the change and development of the flute instrument.
