A multi-barrel flute is a flute musical instrument consisting of several connected or separate tubes, usually without finger holes. The lower ends of the tubes may be open or closed [1] .
A stream of air is directed to the upper sections of the tubes. Each tube emits one basic tone, the height of which depends on the length, diameter of the tube and on whether the tube is closed from the bottom or not. By changing the angle of the air stream to the tube section, the pitch can be reduced by half a tone. The instrument is tuned by moving plugs or adjusting the amount of beeswax in the tubes.
Some historical (rare) types of such flutes instead of an open top cut have whistle devices on each tube. In addition, a multi-barrel flute with a common blow hole (one mouthpiece ) for four tubes with finger holes is known [2] .
A multi-barrel flute must be distinguished from a double flute with whistle devices on the tubes.
