Extract: On the perforated keys of the Boehm flute, it is possible to choose whether to use a large hole (by lifting the entire key) or a small hole (by depressing the ring of the key and leaving the center hole open). The Boehm flute's mechanically operated keys not only present the problem of lack of independent action, but pressent only the large hole option, but present only the large hole option, a major stumbling block to musical progress.

Creative Comment: Renewal of a instrument is very important. The knowledge of an instrument becomes better after a while, we can learn from the past and make the flute, and therefore life, better.
