* 横笛 (héng dí): This means "horizontal flute," and it's another way to refer to the Western concert flute.
* 箫 (xiāo): This is another type of traditional Chinese flute, typically made of bamboo.
It's important to note: While these are the most common ways to say "flute" in Chinese, the specific term you choose will depend on the context and the specific type of flute you're referring to.
