Puck's flute was a magic flute crafted by Puck. It resembles a simple tube with holes carved on one side, but it is not clear what the flute is made from or how it is played. The powers of the flute are as yet unknown.
History
In 971 AD, the flute was in the hoard of the dragon known as Wyvern. When the dragon attacked Wyvern Hill, the Archmage took the opportunity to send his apprentice Angel to retrieve the flute from the unguarded hoard. The gargoyle used a Scrying Glass to locate the flute among all of the treasure. She brought it to the Archmage afterwards. ("The Pledge")
Sometime during the Middle Ages, Puck acquired the flute once more and used it when he took on the role of the Pied Piper of Hamelin. ("Acquisitions")
By 1996, the flute was in the possession of Oberon who used the flute to help the gargoyle beast Boudicca track Puck's scent when Puck did not attend the Gathering. Oberon finally tracked him down to New York City. Puck sensed the flute just as Oberon began to ban him from Avalon (and of his powers), and mystically pocketed the flute from the Lord of the Third Race. For the next year and a half, he played the flute for the infant Alexander Fox Xanatos, until Demona identified the instrument as one of the new Three Keys to Power, and cornered him in July 1997. ("The Gathering" Part One, "Acquisitions")
The flute is now in Demona's possession at her townhouse.
Production Background
Greg Weisman had intended for the flute to reappear in "The Gathering" Part Two, in which Puck would have used the flute to temporarily subdue Oberon. Weisman wrote how he regrets not using the flute during the episode. [1]
