We came across a stall selling all kinds of flute at SM West while we were in Manila for the PAFP Convention last February. Since my kids love playing the piano although they don't have any formal lessons yet (I intend to enroll them this summer), my husband thought that maybe they will love this one, too. And so we bought one for a beginner. We were lucky that the store owner was there while we were inquiring, and so he thought of giving my husband a short lesson. He learned the basics pretty fast that he was able to teach the kids when we reached home.

Raymund also tried playing it using his nose.



This old man played the smallest flute I ever saw.
