Hichiriki (Japanese flute) Honkan Gagaku This is a bamboo and birch bark wrapped vertical flute called a hichiriki, used in Gagaku (Japanese imperial court music). This instrument was actually used by my brother, who was a Shinto priest over 20 years ago. The mouthpiece has been disinfected with alcohol. (In reality, a reed called a ro-zetsu is attached and used. This is not included in this listing.) The cloth bag and the flute itself are relatively clean. I am listing this hoping it will reach someone who can make good use of it. ●Condition My brother, who was a Shinto priest over 20 years ago, actually used this. It has been disinfected and stored for several decades, but will be disinfected with alcohol again before shipping. The bag and the flute itself have no noticeable scratches or stains and are generally clean. However, please understand that this is a used item. ●Product Condition 《Condition》A S: New - Like new AA: Good as a used item A: Fairly good as a used item B: Average as a used item C: Bad as a used item but still usable D: Bad as a used item (including defects) ●Items Hichiriki body Storage bag ※Please note that the ro-zetsu (reed) is not included. ●Material Bamboo ●Size Total length: 18 cm ●Other Notes ・No smokers or pets. ・No significant price reductions. ・I will respond to questions within 24 hours whenever possible. ●Shipping Method I will ship with care using Rakuraku Mercari delivery!
