Wit's Flute

Wit's flute is used by Wit in his storytelling. The instrument is known as a Trailman's flute.
==History==
Kaladin's moody thoughts are broken up by the distant melody of this flute. He tracks down the music, and finds a small camp with a burning fire, where a lighteyed man in black is playing the flute. The man's music is enticing and alien. Kaladin stops, realizing that he doesn't want to encounter a Brightlord, and turns to go, but the flautist stops playing and engages him in conversation.
He spars with Kaladin verbally and while Kaladin tries to excuse himself, Wit then shows him the flute he'd been playing: a flute for a storyteller to play while telling a story. Kaladin asks how this is possible, and Wit shows him. He plays the flute, which echoes amazingly off the chasm walls around them, and speaks into the echoes while not playing, giving Kaladin the story of Derethil and the Wandersail.
Wit then gives the flute to Kaladin, but Kaladin forgets about it when he leaves Sadeas's bridgemen barracks.
Wit now misses the flute, and won't let Kaladin have it again if he recovers it.Book signing, Salt Lake City, UT, 3/29/14Book signing, Scottsdale, AZ, 3/14/14
Later, Rock tells Kaladin that he shouldn't have lost Wit's flute.
Lift finds the flute in a merchant's bin in the Breakaway Market. She gives it to Dalinar, and he gives the flute to Kaladin.
==Notes==
This instrument is likely more than just an ordinary flute. There is word from Brandon that Sadeas had it, and that Wit really wanted it back.
Also, according to Brandon, one is going to have to wait and see whether Kaladin realizes just why he was given the flute.Book signing, Newcastle, UK, 12/1/17
==Speculation==
Where is the flute now? Well, it could be in Urithiru, or it could still be at the warcamps ... if it got left behind with other seemingly unimportant stuff. There's also a possibility that the flute is among the things in Lift's stash in her hiding place. Wyndle thinks this flute looks strange.
