Recorders are more often made of wood and plastic, while flutes are always metal. These differences mostly come not from the design of the instrument, funnily enough, but from the material, each individual instrument is made out of. When a flute melody is played, it almost melts into itself and pinning down when one note moves to another is a bit harder than with the recorder. In contrast, a flute sounds soft, rich, and almost wind-like or whispery. Melodies played on this instrument are easily audible and the notes are very easy to differentiate and notice. The notes are very distinct and separate. The sound of a recorder is very clear and sharp, almost similar to the chirping of a bird. However, there are slight differences between the two. As both the flute and the recorder are woodwind instruments, they are in the same family, and therefore on a grand scale, have a similar sound, or timbre.
