    Well, the statement is true.

    I could play hindi songs on the flute the 1st day i tried it..playing is easy..but being perfect is hard tho. I could not sustain notes for a long time.

    Even though i admit that some of the replies border on the edge of idiocy, i do have to ask you, how exactly do you think one can answer that question in understandable terms? Wouldnt it be much easier to google something up?

    You can buy flutes for 30-40 rs
    first go for one which you blow straight, as opposed to the indian classical flute that you blow sideways

    i think these flutes are each in a specific key like C or G
    and you can play only in that key

    I guess the western flutes are different

    Yeh I don't like 'em jus coz they have one octave n' can be jus played in one key. Cmaj se tang aa gaya main.
