―Wad'e Tay'haai and Bardan Jusik, discussing a Mandalorian bes'bev flute^[src]

The flute was a musical instrument of the woodwind family. Unlike other woodwind instruments, a flute produced its sound from the flow of air against an edge, instead of using a reed. A musician who played the flute was generally referred to as a flutist.

Flute tones were sweet in character and blended well with other instruments. The flute's pitch, and various aspects of its timbre were flexible, allowing a very high degree of instantaneous expressive control.

A bes'bev was an ancient, traditional Mandalorian flute forged of beskar iron.^[1]

The Ewok Latara was a flutist.
