Just made some small changes to the article:

"Unusually most french flageolets with keys have register keys, to facilitate harmonics by eliminating the fundamental. This modification is now rarely found on fipple reed instruments."

I don't believe this is true. Out of the two fipple flutes commonly encountered in Western Classical music, one (the recorder) has a register key whilst the other (the penny whistle) does not.

"These were also produced with alternative heads, large ones with flute heads, and small with fife heads."

I have only ever encountered English flageolets in one size which makes me question the flute/fife distinction. --Arcjgh 19:59, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
