I`ve got a slight issue, I got a flute from a place in Japan, and I have no clue what the fingering are.

It`s a handcrafted/painted bamboo 7-hole (no keys) wooden flute about 1`6" long with the embouchure (sp?) 6 inches from the end of the flute.

It plays beautifully from the couple notes I`ve gotten out of it, and any help would be wonderful!

It does not sound like the traditional Japanese flute, `shakuhachi`.

So could it be just something cheap, without acoustic planning, that is knocked up for tourists with no particular scale or fingering in mind?

It sounds like what is sold to tourists in many countries - largely as an ornament.

I`ve had no luck, I`m apparently on my own. I`ve gotten a few other notes from it, and I`m trying to play a few songs with it.
