This is a Shinobue flute from the Densho Kikaku brand. I purchased it as a music textbook for junior high school. It was a set of the Shinobue flute and a tutorial book, which cost 2200 yen, so I think it's suitable for beginners. Shinobue flute: New, unused, and unopened. Tutorial book: New and unused, but I flipped through it for the photos. If anyone would like to use it, please do... Please refrain from price negotiations. m(_ _)m
