Pre-owned flutes for sale on this page are carefully selected and in excellent condition. Resale prices are often lower than the original retail prices. Some may show repaired cracks. All are in stock and ready for audition.

Auditioning and sales are under the same terms as for any new shakuhachi on this website. Please see: Auditioning

Submissions for resale must be unusually good shakuhachi within their price bracket. Contemporary Japanese shakuhachi are preferred, rather than antique or historical instruments. Please call for submission information.
