This is a bamboo shinobue flute, characterized by its red holes. It's a beautiful flute that makes the most of the shinobue material. - Material: Shinobue (Hitachi Shinobue) - Number of holes: 7 - Type: Yonhon-choshi Koten-cho (for hayashi music) This is a Yonhon-choshi Koten-cho flute. It's unadorned, highlighting the shinobue material. The material is also high-quality Hitachi Shinobue. It produces high, mid, and low tones. If you were to buy this in a shop, it would cost over 10,000 yen even without any decoration, but I'm offering it at a low price, even though it's a single piece of shinobue without any joints. This flute is in the Koten-cho tuning and is not in the Doremi scale. It has also been cream-coated and disinfected with alcohol. Thank you for looking.
