Actually, it was a lot of fun. And I ended up getting a high-end flute for a great price and a guitar with a free wah pedal!
From what I experienced working in that section of the store, is that it attracts a more refined clientele, if you know what I mean. Customers who are generally more musically educated than the ones you would see in some random guitar shop, and who really know what they're looking for. Of course there are customers like that in the guitar section as well, probably looking at the classical guitars! And they still try out the instruments, of course - a necessary thing to do before you buy an expensive wind instrument! I used to hear people of all musical abilities trying out flutes, saxes, trumpets, etc. all the time.
