Shinobue Flute Black x Black Thread x Red Trim Classical Style 7 Holes 6-Hon Choshi (for Hayashibana)

I purchased this previously but no longer have an opportunity to use it, so I am listing it for sale. I am including the original description from when I purchased it.

Selected female bamboo is carefully processed, utilizing the natural qualities of the material, and finished with a traditional Japanese black pigment to achieve artistic merit. Black thread is wound in a half-binding style, creating a border that links with the red inside the tubes. This creates a miraculous color combination where the pigment black and the red border harmonize beautifully. This product is a traditional seven-hole, six-tenths scale shakuhachi, intended for use in traditional Japanese festival music (ohayashi).
Detailed dimensions are approximately 41.5 cm in total length, approximately 1.98 cm near the mouthpiece, and approximately 1.75 cm at the base.

This item is made entirely from natural materials. Please examine the images and make your purchase only after you are satisfied.
