The Flute Block is a musical decoration that plays a flute note whenever someone walks past it. Each block can be tuned to a different pitch, so a row of them becomes a little tune along a garden path. Robin teaches the recipe at six hearts of friendship, and the Museum gives one away for an old Bone Flute. Mixed with Drum Blocks, it lets a farm play its own melody. It also has a real job on Ginger Island, where five tuned blocks solve the Mermaid's puzzle for Golden Walnuts.
Recipe
The blueprint comes from Robin's six-heart event. Walking into the Carpenter's Shop while she is home starts a short scene. Robin asks whether the farmer has ever made anything from wood. Either answer pleases her, and she shares her carpentry secrets: the plans for both the Flute Block and the Drum Block.
The ingredients are cheap and easy to find. Each block takes ten Wood, two Copper Ore and twenty Fiber. Copper Ore is common on the early floors of the Mines.
A free block is waiting at the Museum as well. Donating the Bone Flute artifact, once at least two other items are in the collection, earns a Flute Block from Gunther. The Bone Flute sometimes turns up in artifact spots around the Mountain, Cindersap Forest and Pelican Town.
These are the ingredients one batch needs.

Use
A placed block sounds its note as soon as the farmer steps next to it. Right-clicking the block raises its pitch by one step. After the highest note, the next click wraps back around to the lowest.
Laying blocks along a path and tuning each one turns a walk into a song. Drum Blocks slot into the same line to add a beat.
Notes
The Mermaid's puzzle is the block's best-known use. On rainy days, a Mermaid sits on a large rock off the beach near the Pirate Cove, in the southeast of Ginger Island. Reaching that beach first takes the Island Resort repair, which clears the path. Journal Scrap 9 hints at her song, and the clue lies in the groups of stones on the shore.
Each group of stones gives one note. A small stone counts as one click and a large stone counts as five. Placing a Flute Block by each group and clicking it that many times sets the tune. Starting from the left, the blocks need 2, 11, 9, 5 and 7 clicks. Walking past all five from left to right plays the song, and the Mermaid rewards it with five Golden Walnuts.
