Brookhaven Lab Expert Helps Date Flute Thought to be Oldest Playable Musical Instrument Bone flute found in China at 9,000-year-old Neolithic site Upton, NY-Researchers in China have uncovered what might be the oldest playable musical instrument.
Flutes have existed since prehistoric times. A fragment of a cave bear thigh bone containing two holes, discovered in Slovenia in 1995, is believed by some scientists to be part of a flute used by Neanderthals more than 43,000 years ago.

This Egyptian instrument was a vertical flute, about one yard (0.9 m) long and about 0.5 in (1.3 cm) wide, with between two to six finger holes.
