LOL!
I'm praying that I won't wake up tomorrow morning and want to smash up my wooden flutes!
But I'm quietly very confident that I won't. I know their makers and what has gone into them - It would be deeply sacrilegious to the point where I should cut off one of my fingers afterwards.

....Agreed that it's the player rather than the instrument, Larree. However, in the case of the North American Indian flute, traditionally the instrument is much more than an inanimate object. Traditionally, ceremony is done at the site of the tree and even privately when a piece is selected and brought home from a commercial timber yard. The Tree is traditionally believed to have Spirit. The Traditional flute maker considers himself to be merely a skilled conduit for what the finished flute will become. Also the Traditional flute player will respect all that has gone into the instrument that he/she feels privileged to bring to life by playing - Each flute has a unique voice. The trachea is considered as a Spirit line of expression from the player. All these aspects are integrated and the flute is greatly respected.
Of course there are some very poorly made flutes out there and also those that are used just for hanging on a wall.
I would never smash up any instrument, I would far rather give it away to someone in need. But we are all different.

....Do you think it's a bit like murder then? Once you've killed once, it's easy to do so again. Are you becoming a serial instrument smasher? :)

Larree your rants are becoming as entertaining than your music. It's like pro wrestling or something. That ain't good, man :-)))))))))))))))

I did smash a guitar in front of an audience once. It was in Bergenfield NJ at a battle of the bands. It was held in the basement of a church. I bought the guitar for $6 from a friend of mine at camp earlier that summer. Tuning pegs were snapping off as I tried to restring it. I knew then that this guitar must die. So in the middle of a song (we planned this all out btw) the drummer and bassist of my band start on the main riff of the song. I switch my guitar to the piece of shit. It had a microphone pick up. So I started screaming into it through the guitar distortion and out the halfstack. I did this for awhile until I swung it up high over my head and brought it down with a huge jolt. Only a little piece fell off. I picked it up again and smashed it down! One more piece fell off. Damn. I picked it up over my head, jumped up in the air and threw it to the ground with all my might as I came down through the air and SMASH!!!! It fell apart. I continued smashing it several more times until I left it in a pile on the floor, hooked up my other guitar and finished the song. Yeah.
