Original English definition "flute" not accurate enough: 长笛
refers specifically to the side-blown woodwind instrument
known in English as the Western concert flute, although it can
also be referred to as just "the flute" in some contexts.
See for reference:
http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%95%BF%E7%AC%9B

Editor: "Western concert flute" sound like a strange name,
however here it is necessary to differentiate from Chinese
flutes
Diff:
- 長笛 长笛 [chang2 di2] /flute/
# + 長笛 长笛 [chang2 di2] /Western concert flute/flute/
+ 長笛 长笛 [chang2 di2] /(Western) concert flute/
