When I was younger, I played a number of different instruments. The recorder as a young kid, then violin, then sax, then a little guitar and bass, etc. But it's been over a decade since I've effectively played anything. Now, in the ripe old age of 30-something, I'm not really looking for many challenges when trying to pick up a new instruments. I just want to pick something up and make quality sounds and halfway decent music as a beginner, without hurting myself or getting too discouraged. But it's not easy getting back into music, when everything seems to require high levels of finger dexterity and toughness, or impeccable embouchure and breath control, that I just don't have anymore. That said, this pocket flute is exactly what I was looking for. Even easier than the recorder, which is easy to overblow if you're not careful. And the sound is beautiful, even without any special embouchure. I'm really excited that I can start exploring music right away with this instrument, and not have to spend the first few months doing rudimentary practice before getting "real" musical notes to come out of it. The bonus for me is that my wife and I have a daughter on the way, our first child. I have plenty of time to learn some sweet tunes for bed time, and I'll get to be her instructor for this when she wants to learn to play one day. I'm very happy with this purchase and I will be back for more.
