another highly useful real track would be any type of flute that has a lot of pitch bends accompanied by all the sonic variations that naturally go with wind instruments

It isn't hard to get the pitch bends with MIDI, but the lack of all the other nuances always make the end result less than desired

There was a great flute artist a few years back named Nicolas Gunn. I had three of his CDs and loved that south western flute sound. Would love to have that to offer in a song.

I guess i could learn a bit of it nah i can barely play the guitar!!!

Pat,

I know a guy who manufactures native american flutes by hand. They are actually REALLY easy to play, but you kind of need to have one per key that you are interested in. Sort of like harmonicas.

I borrowed a few from him and could solo on them pleasantly (to my ear at least) without any previous real experience playing wind instruments except for the recorder in 5th grade.

I'm talking this type of instrument: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmQ9jt6U5tw

The tone is very pleasant, and again, I speak on personal authority, that they are very very easy to play. I would say even easier than recorder. Very little breath control is needed. With a recorder, I find i have to be very careful with diaphragm control (at least for a novice). Not so with this instrument.
