A '''Trailman's flute''' is a musical instrument used by storytellers to aid in the telling of their stories.{{book ref|sa1|57}}
Kaladin was skeptical about learning how to play the flute and still held the traditional Alethi view of music as a feminine pursuit.{{book ref|sa1|57}}{{book ref|sa2|55}} He kept the flute but did not place much value on it, and he accidentally left it in the [[Bridge Four]] barracks after moving out of [[Shattered Plains|Sadeas's warcamp]].{{book ref|sa2|55}} Hoid knew Kaladin had lost the flute and was annoyed and disappointed; Kaladin was apologetic but still did not seem to grasp the flute's significance.{{book ref|sa2|55}} [[Torol Sadeas]] found the flute and had possession of it before his death, and Hoid wanted it back.{{wob ref|3350}} If Hoid were to recover the flute, he would not let Kaladin have it again.{{wob ref|2859}}
[[Shallan]] later encountered Hoid in [[Kholinar]], telling the story of Queen [[Tsa]]. After finishing the story, Hoid remarked to Shallan that he missed his flute.{{book ref|sa3|57}} A year later, [[Rock]] berated Kaladin again for losing it just before he departed for the [[Horneater Peaks]].{{book ref|sa4|12}} During the occupation of [[Urithiru]] that occurred shortly thereafter, Hoid managed to draw Kaladin away from the nightmares [[Odium]] was sending him into another dream; as he told Kaladin a story about a dog and a dragon, [[Design]] accompanied Hoid in the background on his old flute.{{book ref|sa4|80}}
