Purpose
This website has a simple goal -- to introduce people to the delightful, inexpensive hobby of fluting.
We cover folk flutes, simple flutes that don't have mechanical keys.
There are hundreds of different kinds. You've undoubtedly heard of recorders, ocarinas, tin whistles, and Native American flutes. There are so many other kinds we can't list them all here.
Benefits
What folk flutes have in common is that they're easy to play. Pick up an ocarina or a recorder, and you'll play songs within days. No musical training required.
Contrast this to the metal concert flute. Try one of those for the first time, and you'll find that it takes days to even navigate between a few notes!
Many folk flutes are lightweight, portable, and durable. I'd rather take my plastic recorder or a tin whistle to the beach or on a camping trip than risk a thousand-dollar concert flute.
And though I love my saxophone, who wants to lug around a heavy case, when I can slip a little flute into my pocket?
Best of all, folk flutes are inexpensive. A $30 recorder or ocarina or a $15 tin whistle is all you need to create music that will touch your soul.
For the price of a single concert instrument, you can build an entire collection. You don't need money to enjoy folk flutes and all they have to offer.
Our Goal
This website gives you everything you need to succeed with folk flutes -- and all of it is free!
All material is original and written by me (not AI). My aim is to spread the spirit of music.
We'll point you to free tutorials and lessons and videos, and tons of free sheet music. We'll give you the advice you need to start, and everything you need to become proficient.
We concentrate on the most popular folk flutes: ocarinas, tin whistles, recorders, Native American Flutes, and the little plastic flutes you may remember playing in middle school. But we cover many other flutes, too.
You might like to start with our article that explains the different kinds of flutes and how they work.
Or jump into our comparison of the ocarina, recorder, tin whistle, and Native American flute here.
I hope you enjoy your musical journey!
