Please be sure to check the ※ in my profile before purchasing. Thank you for looking! This flute is thick and heavy, with a strong presence. The inscription says "Ishida." The Matsumoto inscription has already been sold. It seems to be a single-tone flute, or perhaps in a lower register. In any case, it's a powerful flute. It's easy to play, and the sound is strong and beautiful. It appears to be an Enshu Yokosuka Ippon-choshi (Special Ippon-choshi) flute. As this is a used item, please understand that no claims or returns are accepted after purchase.
