This product is a shinobue (bamboo flute) that was made as a spare for a semi-custom order. Although it does not have a brand mark, it has been made with a focus on finishing and adjustment compared to regular stock items. The head joint is a special specification with the gold character "七 (seven)" which is a semi-custom order specification. The specifications are different from the current regular product (vermilion letters) on sale. The pitch and playability have been confirmed, so you can use it with confidence. This is a limited one-off item, so please consider it early if you are interested. ◇About the Maker◇ We sell handmade shinobue flutes made by my father, who has been a shinobue instructor for about 25 years in Shimane Prefecture, and his daughter. We make shinobue and kagura flutes from female bamboo (sasa bamboo) that grows in the Shizumagawa River (formerly the Ginzangawa River), dried for more than 3 years. ◇Shipping Method◇ We will deliver it by Yu-Pack via Mercari's anonymous shipping service, with eco-friendly packaging. We will ship within 1-2 days from the date of purchase. If you are in a hurry, please leave a comment. 【Specifications】Included: Instruction manual (fingering chart) ◯ Length: Approximately 43-45cm, thickness: Approximately 19-21mm (near the mouthpiece) ◯ Material: Sasa bamboo (female bamboo) (dried for 3 years or more and then heat-treated) ◯ Holes: Inner synthetic vermilion lacquer (cashew) coating ◯ Outer: Synthetic transparent lacquer (cashew) coating ◯ Winding thread: Dark red ・16g of weight is inserted inside the tube head for stability adjustment. Wood putty was used for the mouthpiece reflector to prevent it from melting in the summer heat. ・It is tuned so that the Ro-on (1st octave), Ko-on (2nd octave), and Daiko-on (3rd octave) can be produced with the strength of the breath. ※Because natural sasa bamboo is used, there are differences in tone and playing feel for each flute. If you are already accustomed to other makers' flutes, you may need to get used to the way to produce the Daiko-on range. Also, the sound produced may vary depending on the individual product and the player's technique. ◇Requests◇ ※This is handmade. Please understand this point, check the condition in the photos, and refrain from purchasing if you are a perfectionist. ※We inspect the product before shipping, but if there are any initial defects, please be sure to contact us "before" giving a reception evaluation. We will promptly exchange the item. ※Since it is natural bamboo, there may be scratches or processing marks. It does not affect the sound. #For songs #Utamono #Shinobue #Shino-bue #Bamboo flute #Yokobue #7-hon-choshi (key of 7)
