I have bought a 'flute'. Can anyone suggest a suitable fingering guide or give me any information about it. It is made of nickel-silver, in two parts. There are no keys except for the last three holes (which looks like a C foot).
It is played transverse with an embouchure. The lowest note is F#.
Including C foot (3 holes) and the thumb hole underneath there are 10 holes altogether. 7 of them are raised and welded. Three of the seven have two holes in them, a larger and smaller for half notes, I guess. The maker's initials are S.M. and model number is 102. It is made in Japan in a vinyl case. The makers symbol is a shield with a quaver in it.
Help, I am really wanting to find out what it's range might be.

i have never heard of a flute like that. My only suggestion is to go back to where you got it and asked them if they have any fingering charts or anything to help you with it.

I don't think you have a standard Concert C Flute. Sounds like some other flute. And if it is made in Japan it is a Pice of Junk any ways, no affence. Fougin made instruments are hard to find replacement parts for if something was to break. But I really think this is some other kind of flute than a standard concert C Flute. I is defficently not a Alto, Tennor, or Bass Flute either.
