Have you ever tried the clarinet? Cheap, easy to learn, and it lends itself well to different styles of music.

The use of the flute in genres like rock is underrated. I guess because the instrument was not intended to play that type of music!
I sold my first flute to a beginner student for $100, which is a steal considering it was evaluated at $400. I kept it in good condition.
They are
relatively cheap. That depends on one's definition of "cheap." My first flute, a beginner's flute, was $600 Canadian. I wouldn't have a clue about how many Euros that is
The flute that I have now cost $2500. It's an intermediate level flute! I've seen the real professional ones go up to $16,000...
