When I was a little bit younger... Ok, at highschool, I started to play drums but when the school ended, I stopped it and now the only instrument I play are nerves of other people. :D
I In Polish there is an idiom "play someone's nerves" which means make this person mad.

I play keybords and used to play guitar, but now I'm stuck with the ukulele and also I play the violin, fiddle style.

If you think that singing is playing, I also play my vocal folds.

you mean recorder. Yes, I remember those great times we had back then. It was an alto recorder we played.

I guess a recorder is a kind of flute, but a cheaper make.

I thought that flute is the name of this bigger one which you hold horizontally, learn to play in music school and stuf, and a recorder is this smaller one which you play more in music lessons or something. Am I wrong? Because some names are different in English. For example, in Polish both can be called flute.

Recorders are used professionally as well. They are, from what I've been able to learn, a kind of flute.

Yes yes, I get it, I meant only... a simple association with it but I remember that they are also played professionally.

True though, I was thinking about those plastic ones. I know you get the more expensive ones.

Well. I love playing different musical instruments. I have a lot of instruments to many to name here.

Plastic ones and wooden ones, both are used professionally. You may be thinking of penny whistles or some such.

Interesting, I thought the plastic ones were just used at schools. Because I remember this one teacher teaching me and my classmates how to play one. I didn't know those flutes were used professionally as well.

No. In English language We know fipple flutes (such as recorder, fujara, koncovka, tin whistle), end-blown flutes (ney, xiao, kaval) and side-blown flutes, which are also knowns as transverse flutes (western concert flute, dizi, bansuri, algoza)
Note: In our classical music We known recorder, which is fipple flute and western concert flute, which is transverse flute.

Ofcourse, It is more simpler this dividing of flutes, but maybe It is more difficult.
In My country for example We known priečna flauta (transverse flute) and zobcová flauta (recorder or fipple flute). Ofcourse, We call another instruments of flute family píšťala, which means literally pipe.

I am sorry, priečna flauta, not priečná flauta. I couldn't edit this post.

OK, thanks, I didn't know that about English, these two words for different flutes.

I speak english and for me a flute is a flute, even though I know you get different ones. I guess I’m not too particular when it comes to dividing them up.
