Hey!
Well, I am sure some of you in this guild play more than one musical instrument. I would like to play more than one instrument as well. Right now, I am learning to play this South American flute and I am thinking of buying this guitar from Okinawa (completely different from the six string guitar).
However, all I have for now is the flute I am talking about. So how do I go on with learning yet not losing interest in the other musical tradition vice-versa?

Well. idk.
I play the cello as a mian, and I'm picking up saxophone.
I have pretty much learned that two clefs are really hard and you have to PRACTICE both.
Always.
Trying not to get mixed up too.

Well.
Technically.
Speaking as a cellist.
You need to know three clefs early on. Not at the start, but soon after.
Tenor, Treble, and Bass.
Thus, being a cellist and picking up the sax shouldn't be hard in terms of clefs but the fact that it's so different. :]

Not really you need to know them about your 5th or 6th year playing.. you don't really see much until then.
You do see a little but not much.

i tried once for picking up a second instrument...and it wasn't much success to me.
THe time I picked up violin as a second instrument, I've already had about 6-7 years of experience on piano.......so the thing that really puts me off is to learn everything from the beginning...all the bowing style, postures, techniques, etc....so by the time I change school, i didn't continue.... ><

I'm kind of curious about something a little more technical.
You said that the guitar you're thinking of buying is from Okinawa, and the flute you play is from South America. My harp teacher told me that if I would order a harp from Ireland, then the wood would warp from the climate change and it would be useless.
Is that just true to the harp for some reason, or is it just because of the differences between the climate in Ireland and here, or would any wooden instrument brought here from another climate warp? Or do wooden instruments actually not warp, and is my teacher mistaken?
I'm so confused... crying

well, as for not loosing interest in the other instrument, that's easy...
keep playing it.
i play about 5 instruments (I'm a Drum Major, it happens.)
I started out on flute, and then learned Trombone. When i did that, i played Trombone in marching band, and Flute for church and concert band.
After that i learned Trumpet and tenner sax. i still marched Trombone, and ended up concerting Trombone too, but played tenner in my free time, and trumpet with a good friend of mine. Now i'm playing Piano and French horn.
*Am i the only not string player here...?*
Just keep on doing what your doing with your S. American Flute, and start doing it with your Okinawa Guitar.

What exactly is a drum major, i'm still getting into marching band, hopefully next year, i'll be in it!
I play two instruments... well, 3.
The cello will always be my love.. I love the tone expansion, the way you sound when you start, and a year after.
Sax, I just picked up.
So i've learned:
Treble Clef
Transposing
I mean, its starting from scratchi with everything except for rythms.. but I love both instruments, maybe the cello a bit more, just I picked up sax this summer.
I plan to be as good as you've ever seen anoyone get in the next 4 years.
I'll work hard and raise my level as high as it can go.

i think everyone should play at least a little piano if they are going to be involved in music, even if you do not get serious about it, think about this, so many keyboard tones, synth tones, classical tones, the abiltiy to mimic any melody and all the notes are at your fingertips and a flick of the wirst can change the tune in a split second.
Work with something like that and it makes melodies on other instruments easier guarunteed

My advice on playing two musical instruments, or even more, would be to start out with two instruments that are similar. Or at least have the same cleft. Also, practice your different instruments on different days. For example, say you have played the violin your entire life and decide you want to learn the..cello. Practice your violin on Monday, cello on Tuesday, violin on Wednesday, etc. My biggest piece of advice would be to get lessons from a professional. If you can't afford that, help from a talented friend or teacher is very beneficial.
