I have a very mild case of that in that I bought a weird traditional flute from Japan a couple of months ago. It looked cool and a game character I like has one. A bit hard to play, but I'm getting there.

It'll certainly be a lot more expensive, but I wish you a future crisis full of epic sax all the same.

A shinobue, a transverse flute made of bamboo (well, traditionally, mine is not too bad but it's plastic. One day, maybe).

The game is Xenoblade Chronicles 3. The two protagonists play the shinobue as a ritual to send off people who have passed.

I like Okami too, and I believe Waka's flute in that game is also a shinobue.

I bought an electric flute/recorder but never got around to learning it. Xenoblade Chronicles is on one of my list to eventually play.

Wish you well with learning it.

Thank you. i'm probably going to get the electric sax before i get the bass (if i'm spending 30 grand on an instrument i have a few others ahead of the bass sax), but we can dream.
