Help me identify this flute please
Hello beautiful experts,
I have been thinking about learning a woodwind instrument for a change for a little time, and found this at a fleamarket for 10 bucks (bet you didn't ever read this story before :D).
I did some research before with the caracteristics I can see, it having 6 holes on the opposite side of the window and mouth hole etc. , but could not find a definitive answer (if there is one)
I could narrow it down to a chinese Xiao or a VERY unconventional japanese Shakuhachi. The characters on the box may give a clue, but 1. I can't even tell if they are traditional/simplified chinese/japanese and 2. the box might not even belong (the picture translation says something about a bamboo screen or "mr. zhao cooking sugarcane")
Pls do not hold back on telling me if I bought something purely decorational that has no name other than maybe "Kitsch". I'll have fun playing it nonetheless, be it without instructional material :)
Any clues or questions are more than welcome
