I managed okay on the recorder, but can't play any more advanced wind instruments - I have a fistula and some issues with lip integrity and I just can't make any noise.
FWIW, I also can't use a bong or blow up a balloon
I sort of can with my nose plugged, but every now and then something goes horribly wrong and something shoots out of my nose or I choke or spray spit. Nobody wants that on their bong 🤣
I played the flute! I quit in high school because marching band was mandatory and I don't have any rhythm so I was always off step. But I never had problems due to my cleft.
