I thought glissando was a technique used on open
hole flutes where the player slightly uncovered then recovered the hole to bend
the note?¿?

From Larry Krantz site Glissando………A smoothly
changing pitch, upwards or downwards, produced by sliding the fingers off of or
onto the holes on an open hole flute. Glissandi are easier going up than going
down. They can be done quickly as well. Fingerings for glissandi throughout the
range of the flute are available in resources such as Robert Dick's "The Other
Flute." See INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS section for more details.

kryzmunkey and Tara, I just found a really
interesting site I haven't seen before that has much more information on your
question. Really worth the trip. http://www.sforzando.se/flutetech/01.htm
