Yeah, I remember trying to get a sound out of my friend's flute once - I had exactly the same problem. I've never been very good at getting noise from blowing over bottle openings either.

I miss my sax... I hired it from the school and I loved that thing - had to give it back when I left obviously. Not that I ever
practiced... drove my teacher
nuts.

Heh, my sister taught me the basics of the clarinet as well - I took up the instrument mainly because she learned it and she'd just recently gotten a wooden one, which meant her plastic one was just lying around. So I decided to learn too... so she of course, started teaching me and when I got into my first
actual lesson with my
actual teacher he was so ticked off. He was her teacher as well and she'd been learning for
years so he knew us both fairly well. He was so mad because she taught me incorrect tonguing and because I'd ended up being
better than all the other beginner's but not as good as the second-year students. I got private lessons out of the deal
