Awesome man. I have been actually been thinking about getting a wooden flute. I got so much free time at the moment and want to learn something fun.

Holy crap! I can’t advocate for it enough. I picked it up two years ago and now I take it everywhere. I can help with selection if you have preferences in sound type or ease of getting off the ground, so to speak.
Where did you get yours from? I am hoping to learn to play some Irish or Scottish type music with it.
I get a lot of them from boliviamall.com and alpacamall.com; these are good sources if you’re interested in getting a quena (my personal favorite) and want to help support makers/sellers where the flute actually comes from.
If you’re interested in easy to learn (but not as much room to grow), you might like a Native American flute. Douglas Thunderhorse makes great flutes that can be purchased online through weed path music shop.com, or wind dancer flutes (Roger McGee) can also be found by web search.
If you’re particular to the Irish flute, honestly I’ve seen a lot of good deals on flutes of all kinds on eBay. Irish flute is one I haven’t had the chance to try yet, but I imagine it’s similar in many ways to the Quena.
Oh also, if you do decide to pickup a flute and find yourself having questions, you can either let me know in a comment or post them in the quenasabor community, and me or one of the more experienced flutists in the community can probably put together a video or post to help dampen the learning curve :)
