This is a shakuhachi flute with the inscription "Shoto" (松涛). It is made of bamboo and is a model often used for practice and hobby purposes. While there are minor scratches from use and a natural aging appearance, there are no major cracks or damage that would interfere with playing. Please check the condition in the photos. I am not familiar with traditional Japanese instruments, so I do not know the details (school, pitch, etc.). Please purchase only if you understand this. Instant purchase is OK.
