1st Note Nose Flute: Fun and Unique Musical Instrument

There are few who can whistle real music through their noses. For the rest of us, there's the nose flute, also called a nose whistle or a Humanatone. This single-piece instrument relies on rhythmic breathing through the nose while maintaining or fluctuating the opening of the mouth.

Easy and Fun to Play

The 1st Note Nose Flute is a simple and classic gem that provides hours of entertainment. It is easy to play, requiring only rhythmic breathing through the nose while adjusting the mouth opening. Though simple to start, mastering the nose flute takes practice, making it a fun challenge for both kids and adults.

Rich History

Nose flutes have a rich history and were made from various materials like wood, metal, or ivory in the latter half of the 19th century. They were produced under names like Magic Flute, Humantone, and Humanaphone. In the late 1930s, plastic nose flutes were introduced as kids' toys, gaining popularity for their unique sound and playful nature.

Compact and Portable

The nose flute is small, light, and easy to bring along for entertainment. Its compact size makes it an ideal travel companion, ready to add fun and laughter to any gathering.

Perfect for All Ages

Whether you're a serious fluter or just looking for a unique way to make music, the 1st Note Nose Flute is perfect for all ages. As David Gouthro, founder of the Vancouver Noseflute Ensemble, puts it, "You only need two things to play well: You have to be able to breathe, and you have to let go of any need to look good."
