Is the flute a poplular instrument?
Very. It is very popular for both marching and concert bands, as well as many orchestras. I happen to play the flute and love it very much.

But the flute is a great instrument and if you want to play an instrument that can stand alone or be played in a group, it is a beautiful instrument to learn. Best of luck!
