you should so play it there was a guy flute in my marching band but he switched of an on w/ the drum line i don't get why because he was the best out of all of us!. if people bother you think of it this way your surrounded by girls(any guy would love that)

hope you continue to play the flute its really fun!!!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Come on, lets be honest!. You and I know it's a traditionally feminine instrument!. But we also know that you've got a natural talent for it and the desire to learn, so why would you NOT play the flute!? Plenty of men play the flute today and a century ago almost band/orchestra in general was almost exclusively male!. Don't let anyone tell you it's too "girly"!. If you enjoy it then you should be man enough to pursue it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No not at all! Intsruments are not made for specific genders! No one will make fun of you, and if they do, they are lame and all they do is follow the crowd! Dont worry about them!. Do what you want to do!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I say go for it!. I've sometimes I wish I'd played flute, some guys are amazing at it (I play tenor sax)!. Just blow everyone away and they shouldn't give you any problems!.
