This might be a little off-topic, but for a couple reasons, extreme temps included, I have a midi-wind controller and a couple of synthesizers designed for it.
The flutes, clarinet and saxes I can use in pit orchestras an no one knows the difference until they actually look at me or if I get cute and tease some pretty cello player by selecting a cello sound... busted!
Oboe and english horn are fairly lame, although responsive and in tune at least.
It requires a small amp, and the base unit plus synth cost about $750 over 17 years ago.
Mine is Yamaha gear, but other 'wind controllers' exist at around $1000 new.
