This is the Shishida-ryu Shinobue Takusui. It's a five-tone pitch, with six holes, and a natural color finish with tenchito-style rattan wrapping. This is a Shishida-ryu Shinobue Takusui made by the second-generation flute maker, Chuichi Ito of the Ito Takekanki Seisakusho, who inherited the techniques of the flute maker Shishida from the late Edo period. It was made in the late Showa era, over 40 years ago. The shinobue bamboo is well-dried, and the sound quality and tone are excellent, making it a wonderfully finished instrument. Highly recommended. This item is offered at a special price. First come, first served.
