Flutes were popular in the Italian musical scene in the 16th century. Throughout time the flute basically stayed the same instrument. Major improvements were made early in the 1700's by the Jean Hotteterre family. The Hotterterre family changed the flute from one piece to three pieces. There were six small tone holes and a key was added that produced an E-flat. By 1760, more keys were added for more variety of tones, G-sharp, B-flat and F keys were added by flute makers in London.
