The most important things in World of Warcraft are gold and items. And when it comes to cool items to collect, they don't get much better than the dancing flute.
If you've spent any time around the local auction house you certainly discovered the "dancing flute". This is really a fun item and it only drops off of one guy in Stratholme. The good news is I guarantee you can get it.
How? Well first of all, the mob that drops this is named Hearthsinger Forresten. He is a rare spawn but lucky for us not too exceedingly rare. Where is he? If you enter the back door of Strat (you'll need the Key to the City) and proceed to the very first gated tunnel he will often spawn to the right of the doorway.
Let's make it even easier to find him. Once you enter the instance just type "/target Hearthsinger" minus the quotes of course. If he is there then we can proceed, if not then reset the instance and try again.
If he IS there then (if you are a rogue or druid stealth) go over under the gated area to the left and wait there. If you do not have stealth then you can still do this. The area you need to walk by to get to the gated area (where you will be able to unstealth and fight Forresten) is very small. So all you need to do is purchase or have your alchemist friend make you some invisibility potions. Open the gate and run to the safe area (you will trigger the enemy chat script but no mobs will attack you).
Now, wait and make sure that there are no patrols coming by. You are safe in the gated area but if a patrol comes by when you pull Hearthsinger you will get it too and die. Peek around the corner to your right and you will see Hearthsinger standing alone.
At this point you will pull him by shooting him with a bow or gun or using a ranged spell on him. Let him run to you under the gates where you can fight him. He is easy to solo but has a very high dodge % so bring a potion in case he dodges so much you risk dying. I was able to kill him on my second try and have killed him many times since.
With any luck he will drop your flute or another nice item like the Songbird Blouse (great for druids). The good news is even if he doesn't drop what you are looking for that you can just disenchant it and sell the shard and try again! You can repeat this over and over again and either get yourself a flute or make some serious money!
