Thank you for viewing. This is a Shinobue Maruyama, 8.5 hon choshi, for uta (Doremi scale), black lacquer finish. I purchased this about 3 years ago and have used it with care, but I am selling it because I have recently started using a flute of a different key. I believe there are no noticeable scratches, 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 comment if you have any other questions. Thank you for your consideration.
