Vintage Bansuri Lacquered Bamboo Flute 14 Inches 35 CM with Velvet Cover

Description

Sealed finish bamboo flute. I don't know the key as I don't know flutes. I picked this up from a guy whose father had been in the military and stationed overseas. One of the places was South Korea in the 1970s so I cannot say for sure if this applies to that time. Most of what I got from him was dated from 1972 to 1996 and added into boxes which became part of the garage when he moved in with his son many years ago and it kind of just sat there as they began turning their garage into pre-decades storage versus car storage.
It is possible it is of a more recent decade and not of Asian craftsmanship. I can only attest to the previous owner's speculation of age range of items. I am listing this as Open Box due to nothing being seen within the mouthpiece to give evidence it was used.
The flute is lacquered. There are tiny ridges where the lacquer fused differently, as this is a real bamboo item and not something else painted or sawed to appear to be bamboo. Please see last two pictures regarding lacquer ridging and dimpling with the bamboo.
