Ryūteki (Dragon Flute) - Bamboo, Vermilion Lacquer, Gagaku Court Music, Japanese Musical Instrument

Thank you for viewing my listing.

This Ryūteki was passed down to me by an acquaintance, but I am listing it as I have not used it much. When I tried blowing into it a little after receiving it, I felt that although the bore is slender, the thick walls allow for a wide range of tones, producing clear sounds from high to low notes. I am listing it with the hope that someone who is interested in this flute and will cherish it will take it. Please understand that this is a used item.

[Origin of the Ryūteki]
The Ryu (dragon) in Ryūteki has been considered a being that connects heaven and earth since ancient times, and the instrument called Ryūteki, which uses this character, has been cherished as an instrument that connects heaven and earth. Furthermore, the inside of the tube is lacquered vermilion, and vermilion is said to be the color of life's revival, so the Ryūteki is also said to be an instrument that revives life. I hope you will take this instrument, imbued with such meaning, into your hands and try playing it.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment. I sincerely look forward to your consideration.
