Summary/Abstract: In each period of the development of the flute art, the evolution of the instrument is determined by the creative searches of composers and performers, by the daring and experiments of masters and constructors in the pursuit of achieving a quality adequate to the requirements of the time. The refinement of the instrument through the 19th century leading to the characteristics of the modern flute is followed. The main credit for the modernization of the instrument goes to the Bavarian flautist and composer Theobald Boehm, whose revolutionary reform aimed to improve the mechanics and remove the shortcomings of the flute. Innovations are also considered, contributions of flute masters from various national schools such as A. Buffet, L. Dorus, G. Brichialdi, L. Lot, etc.
