A wooden flute is a type of tool that appears in NetHack. It is a tonal musical instrument that is naturally made of wood, and appears as a flute when unidentified.
Description
Applying a wooden flute and improvising with it exercises dexterity, and has a chance of pacifying nearby snakes based on dexterity and experience level - the effect occurs when the sum of your character's experience level and the roll of a dexterity-sized die is equal to or greater than 27.[1][2]
Strategy
The wooden flute is tied with the magic flute for the lightest tonal instrument and can be used to play the passtune at the Castle, though the magic flute can serve the same purpose with the addition of being able to lull monsters to sleep.
Identification
The two flutes are fairly easy to distinguish from each other via price identification and use testing. A magic flute with charges will play "soft music" and cause nearby monsters to stop moving due to falling asleep (or else display a sparkle animation if they resist) - an uncharged magic flute behaves the same as a wooden flute, but is only likely to be found in bones.
History
The wooden flute first appears in NetHack 3.0.0.
