Thank you for viewing. This is a Ransho flute (Ransho-kan), a shakuhachi, in the key of "one-cho" (D). It has a truly beautiful sound, and I believe it is one of the finest among the Ransho flutes I own. I am reluctantly selling it to organize my collection. I hope to pass it on to someone who will cherish it. It is a beautiful item, but it is used, so please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about minor imperfections. No claims or returns are accepted after purchase.
