flute


Explanation:
It is the instrument we usually call simply"flute" in English. "traversa" is used in Spanish to distinguish it from other wind instruments also called "flautas" that are not held at right angles to the body. A photograph can be viewed at the URL below. Good luck!

TRANSVERSE FLUTE


Explanation:
This term exists (Chambers) to describe this particular kind of flute...although in the context of a CV, the kind of flute is hardly likely to be important unless the person in Q is trying to obtain a job in an orchestra.
