The two flutes are fairly easy to distinguish from each other via price identification or via use testing. When playing (if one chooses to "improvise"), a wooden flute will either "trill" (which pacifies snakes) or "toot".  A magic flute with charges will play "soft music"; an uncharged magic flute behaves the same as a wooden flute, but is only likely to occur in bones.

With this thou canst do mighty deeds
And change men's passions for thy needs:
A man's despair with joy allay,
Turn bachelors old to lovers gay.

[ The Magic Flute, by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart ]
