There is a small variance with the flute harvesting tools compared to other harvesting tools that is rather annoying. I am not sure it’s a bug, but it certainly does not feel as if it is intended.
Example: When harvesting logs with most harvesting tools, you take your axe swings, see loot collected, and can then strafe, or otherwise move before the animation finishes. With the flute, it’s more like you are rooted in place until after the animation finishes. It’s not impossible to break, but it’s just annoying. It’s like the mechanics for breaking out of the animation are different for the flutes than it is for other harvesting tools.
