A wooden flute is a musical instrument. It can be used to play notes to guess the passtune. Improvising with it will exercise your dexterity. Also, if the player has enough experience and dexterity, improvising with it will make nearby snakes peaceful. When played, it will either "trill" (which pacifies snakes) or "toot."
The snake-charming effect will occur if (1dDex + Xlvl) is 27 or greater.[1]
Identification
There are two types of musical instrument with the appearance of flute, the magical magic flute and this. There are quite a few different ways to differentiate them apart. First of all, there is the scroll of identify and its spellbook counterpart. Secondly, a charged magic flute will play soft music, note that this does not auto identify the flute. Thirdly, the price of the two flutes are different, thus they can be price-IDed.
Strategy
Being the lightest of all instruments, the wooden flute is a worthwhile candidate to carry with you to play the passtune. However, the magic flute, at the same weight, is probably a better choice if you can find it due to its additional effect of being able to put monsters to sleep.
