Vintage Bamboo Long Life House Flute

This is a bamboo (or bamboo-look) duct flute/recorder-style whistle, marked “LONG LIFE HOUSE” with Chinese characters on the body. It features a fipple/air window near the end and a line of finger holes (simple folk-instrument style), making it a nice decorative piece for a music nook or a functional vintage-style flute if you play. The natural bamboo tone and light patina give it an understated, traditional look.
