The Fluyten Lusthof (The Flute Lusthof ) is a two-part collection of solo recorder music by the blind Utrecht carillonneur and baroque composer Jacob van Eyck (around 1590–1657). It is the largest collection of music ever published by a single composer for a solo wind instrument . The collection consists largely of variations and only a few free works. It appeared in various versions and parts, first published in 1644, with further editions in 1646, 1649, 1654 and 1656. The pieces include hymns ("psalms"), folk songs and dance songs of the time, including adapted material from van Eyck's own glockenspiel- Music: "full of psalms, paduans, allemanden, courants, ballets, airs, & c." As it is called in the Amsterdam reprint of the Amsterdam 1649 edition.

A modern edition was published by Gerrit Vellekoop (1898-1956), which was followed by a New Vellekoop Edition (New Vellekoop Edition) published by Thiemo Wind.

Although written for the amateur, the level of enjoyment of music in Utrecht was apparently quite high, since the pieces are considered an artistic challenge by modern standards. The collection or parts of it were imported many times.

The variations on the song Engels Nachtegaeltje ("English Nightingale ") are a popular piece .
