It's easy on oboe/cor due to the high breath resistance (best note to practice it on is upper register D oxx|xxx), though I haven't had nearly as much success with it on clarinet/sax (but almost managed it).

And as for flute - I don't think I'll even entertain trying it!

You do need to have the breath resistance in order to make it work - blowing bubbles into a glass of water through a straw won't help as there's no breath resistance there, so do the soft reed/low note method mentioned above to get you started.

It's one of those things that once they're learnt, they're never forgotten.
