flajol (flute). In Provençal dialect, flute is flaujol or flautol.

History

Flageolets have varied greatly during the last 400 years. The first flageolets were called "French flageolets", and have four tone-holes on the front and two on the back. An early collection of manuscript Lessons for the Flajolet, dating from about 1676, is preserved in the British Library. Small versions of this instrument, called bird flageolets, were also made and were used for teaching birds
