Wedgwood provides the following description of Hole-Flute:
[The English Hohlflute] may be said to date from the time when William Hill, whose work is a monument to his genius, bored two holes through the top of a wood pipe (obtaining a variety of Keraulophon-Flute tone) and labelled it Hole-Flute! A stop named Hohlflöte 4 ft., of similar construction, occurs on the Choir organ at St. Mary, Nottingham (Bishop).
Hopkins & Rimbault also mention it: �[the pipes of] the English Hohl-flute have two holes near to the top, and opposite to each other�.
See also Hohlflöte.No examples of the name Hole-flute are known. Osiris contains over five dozen examples of Hohlflute, but it is not known if any of them have this type of construction.
