among the flute families, flute and bamboo flute are the most representative ones. Flute is a western musical instrument, which has unique shape, wide range, colorful timbre and extremely rich expressive force. It is one of the main musical instruments of regular wind (string) bands. Bamboo flute is a musical instrument deeply loved by Chinese people, and there are many kinds. The common bamboo flutes include Qu Di, Bangdi and alto flute, and it is one of the main musical instruments in the folk music team. As a hobby, I suggest learning bamboo flute. For one thing, it costs less to learn bamboo flute, so you can get a flute for more than ten dollars, and there are hundreds of good ones, as well as complete sets (it seems unnecessary). It is easy to learn, and you can even learn by yourself if you have a little music theory foundation or something. Hobbies, amuse yourself, play a tune and sound like that. As for what level you can reach in the future, it naturally depends on your nature; Of the two, it is easier to learn bamboo flute if you want to find a knowledgeable person around you, so you can ask at any time. Flute is different. First of all, it costs a lot to learn flute. Needless to say, the low-grade flute is also around 1, yuan. It is not easy to find a flute teacher. Besides, it may be a bit extravagant to spend money to teach flute just as a hobby. If you want to teach yourself, it's not impossible. I'm afraid it's hard to achieve your expected results. Only a few common sounds in the high-pitched area of the flute are enough for you to go back and forth for three to five years. If you don't believe me, try it (sorry, I don't mean to offend you). As for the characteristics of bamboo flute, I don't think you need to know too much at once (if you want to know, just look it up in Baidu Know, and I have answered a lot of relevant contents). As a hobby, it's good to choose F and D, and if your age is taken into account, then choose D and play some more soothing and even classic songs, which looks gentle, elegant and refined. "It's better to retreat and build a net", since you like it, you should move first, and you will naturally understand some things in the process of learning.
