After making his own flute, he quickly became proficient enough to play in an orchestra at the age of seventeen, and at twenty-one he was first flautist in the Royal Bavarian Orchestra.<ref name="bate"/> Meanwhile, he experimented with constructing flutes out of many different materials—tropical hardwoods (usually [[Grenadilla]] wood), silver, gold, nickel and copper—and with changing the positions of the flute's tone holes. After studying [[acoustics]] at the [[~~Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich\|~~University of Munich]], he began experimenting on improving the flute in 1832, first patenting his new fingering system in 1847.<ref name="bate"/> He published ''Über den Flötenbau'' ("On the construction of flutes"), also in 1847.<ref name="bohm"/> His new flute was first displayed in 1851 at the [[Great Exhibition\|London Exhibition]].<ref name="welch">{{cite book\|last=Welch\|first=Christopher\|title=History of the Boehm flute\|publisher=Rudall, Carte & Co\|year=1883\|location=London}}</ref> In 1871 Boehm published ''Die Flöte und das Flötenspiel'' ("The Flute and Flute-Playing"), a treatise on the acoustical, technical and artistic characteristics of the Boehm system flute.<ref name="bohm"/> == Legacy ==
