Probably the most beautiful sounding flute on earth is the Persian ney (the Ottoman has a mouth piece that makes it less interesting). I play the Japanese Shakuhachi, but I am tempted to acquire some of these reeds and learn the flute-in-mouth technique. After we talked about it, a friend of mine, who thought he might connect to his Iranian heritage by starting to play some flute, looked into it, but was discouraged by how cumbersome it is to have a wooden woodwind. The combination of wood and the moist of your breath is not a good one :) But he and his family might help me out as they speak Farsi and I don't :)
