Thank you for viewing. This is a Shinobue Maruyama, 8.5-note tuning, for singing, with black lacquer finish. I purchased this about 3 years ago and have used it with care, but I am now selling it because I have started using a flute with a different tuning. I believe there are no noticeable scratches or damage, but it is a used item, so please understand this and consider purchasing it if you will use it with care. Shipping will be via Mercari's 60-size service. I will take measures to protect it from water and impact during shipping. Please feel free to ask any questions in the comments. Thank you for your consideration.
