From what I remember based on my 5 years of being a flautist flutes are generally tuned to A or Bb and sometimes F. However there's a bunch of different things can affect whether it stays in tune or not (how you blow into the hole, how much the mouthpiece is pushed in, cleaning/maintenance, temperature, etc.). I've also been wanting to invest on another flute. I kind of miss playing like I used to.

I was a bit confused at first, but I think sir SalemJeanette was refering to the tuning. And lady ChelseaRare, it is very nice to have an opinion of a flautist. What kind of flute do you play? Well, after doing more research, I dropped the Idea of getting myself a complex flute. They seem very hard to learn, and ashtma people aren't really good with this breathing stuff, so I think I'm getting myself a Xaphoon. |

To be honest, ocarinas are pretty cool. Im not so sure how well they will go with the guitar, but i would imagine it would sound cool, especially playing some zelda tabs. I hear they are pretty easy to learn as well.

I used play standard concert

I used play standard concert flute frequently and I've got some experience with the piccolo. I'd like to get back into it one day, but I'll have to put that on hold =/. I wouldn't really consider it difficult to learn. The trickiest part for me was getting it to produce a sound, but once I got that everything just fell into place. I can't say I know much about ocarinas or xaphoons, but both seem like they would be fun to at least experiment with. As far as sounding well with a guitar goes, I feel that it's safe to say that any combination of instruments has the potential to do that.

I've been obsessed about this dude's take on solo bass guitar using piccolo bass strings: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6yXSeM1-E4 Time to dig my Fender jazz bass out of the closet.

Sir Ticonderoga, I actually have an Ocarina! It's not Zelda like, but it's still an Ocarina. They have a pretty sound, but they have limited notes. It's fun to play, but way too limited. Well, maybe that's my ocarinas fault. Or more probably, my playing's fault. ..Ocarinas still rock, anyways. Lady ChealseaRare, I heard that piccolos are even harder to play, due to the short distance betwen holes. Sir Parhelion, I couldn't have guessed that this was a bass. What's with those Piccolo Strings? |

Good evening, my fellow musicians.
I don't really know if this is the right place for this topic, but anyways...
Lately I've been thinking of getting myself another instrument in order to play along with my guitar. Something that's able to hold the sound a little longer than our beloved six-stringed friend.
After doing some research, I decided that a Bamboo Flute would be nice. It's like a... Cheaper and simpler (did I mention cheaper?) version of the transversal flute, and it has a nice sound.
And my question is, does anybody here is familiar with this kind of instrument? I was wondering, too, what flute-tuning should I stick too, so that it will sound good with the guitar.
Feel free to give any opinion about other instruments as well. Can you play an instrument besides the guitar? What would you use for "soloing" in recordings, if you know what I mean?
