I heard somebody today speaking disparagingly of noseflutes, so My Good Friend the Devil inspired me to refresh this thread.

Don't be hard on nose flutes. Some are far more sophisticated than those plastic things we've seen. A few years ago, I was recruited to record and mix music for a spoken word presentation. The instrumentalist was a local musician who seems to be able to play every instrument known to humankind. For this project, she played a variety of flutes, including an African nose flute. It looks very much like an ordinary flute, but it's played with air from the nose - and it sounds lovely. I couldn't believe the amount of music she got out of that thing. You COULD spend all day watching the variety of nose flute performances on YouTube. And some of them might even be good.
So, have some respect and compassion for nose flautists.
