Skirt Cafe is an on-line community dedicated to exploring, promoting and advocating skirts and kilts as a fashion choice for men, formerly known as men in skirts. We do this in the context of men's fashion freedom --- an expansion of choices beyond those commonly available for men to include kilts, skirts and other garments. We recognize a diversity of styles our members feel comfortable wearing, and do not exclude any potential choices. Continuing dialog on gender is encouraged in the context of fashion freedom for men. See here for more details.

Nice sound. What's the difference between a flute and a recorder; it looks more like the latter.
A recorder (called a "block flute" in German) has the breath directed against a sharp edge by a narrow channel in the mouthpiece, whereas a (transverse) flute has a free edge, and the player must direct the breath by angling the instrument.
From the way he's holding the instrument against his mouth, it looks like a block flute, but it's hard to tell without seeing the detail of the mouthpiece.
