Flute players have an undeserved reputation for spreading the Covid 19 virus due to the direction and volume of the airflow required to play their instruments. Half the air goes into the instrument where is makes tuneful music, the rest is reputed to shoot out at high speed over the top of the lip plate and hit the viola section on the backs of their heads. Studies have shown this not to be the case and that air from the flute does not travel more than two feet before it stops (about the same distance as for normal speech). Very little airflow is detectable at the end of the flute, or from the finger-holes. The fast flowing air is converted to sound waves which propagate by vibrating, but not moving, the air. This is equally true of all wind and brass instruments
