I assume you are talking about the orchestral flute in C Major. The range is from middle C to approximately Bb four octaves higher. The lower register from middle C to the D one octave above is warm, breathy and tends to be soft. The middle register from that D to one octave higher becomes increasingly brighter and stronger on ascent. The high register is brilliant and can sometimes be piercing or shrill.

Yes, I forgot about other kinds of flutes. Thank you. I play the piano, so it's easy for me to see the range of the flute in my head. What a beautiful sounding instrument the flute it with its different ranges!+
