FLAGEOLET , in See also:music, a See also:kind of See also:flute-a-See also:bee with a new fingering, invented in See also:France at the end of the 16th See also:century, and in See also:vogue in See also:England from the end of the r7th to the beginning of the 19th century. The See also:instrument is described and illustrated by See also:Mersenne,' who states that the most famous maker and player in his See also:day was Le Vacher. The flageolet differed from the See also:recorder in that it had four See also:finger-holes in front and two thumb-holes at the back instead of seven finger-holes in front and one thumb-hole at the back. This fingering has survived in the See also:French flageolet still used in the provinces of France in small orchestras and for See also:dance music. The arrangement of the holes was as follows: 1, See also:left thumb-hole at the back near See also:mouthpiece; 2 and 3, finger-holes stopped by the left See also:hand; 4, finger-hole stopped by right hand; 5, thumb-hole at the back; 6, hole near the open end. According to Dr See also:Burney (See also:History of Music) the flageolet was invented by the Sieur Juvigny, who played it in the See also:Ballet comique de la Rayne, 1381.
