I probably used about $5 worth of PLA filament making it.

For comparison, a new Doug Tipple flute, made of PVC pipe,

I'm not a flute player (yet) so I can't really comment on the tone.

I'm discovering I actually like playing the flute!

I'm learning the flute, the tin whistle,

In fact, last night I dreamed about building an Oboe,

and woke up realizing that I could start with my bagpipe chanter,

The fingering is, at core, the same on the Oboe (which I at one time played rather well)

so I can twiddle it, maybe add keys, or print a flute in a different key.
|
||||
But for now I'm having a nice time learning to play some tunes.
