Hello all, I just received a wooden 1.8 in a trade. I had the hanko translated and it reads "Seifu"or "Clear Wind"). It is made of maple and is between 25 to 30 years old according to the person who originally bought it. Is anyone familiar with this maker? Most likely it is mass produced. I cannot find any other information besides the translation other than it was most likely bought in the US.
Thanks

Those are made in Japan at a factory whose other product is baseball bats.

Do they still make them? Are the bats any good? I was actually looking for an historical reference if anyone knows.

Seriously, nobody knows the name of the company that made this flute or if they are still making them? Hanko reads "Seifu"or "Clear Wind".
