Hi, Mia

You're going to have to direct us to an image of the instrument (or one like it). Or at least give us a few clues. Eg timber colour, keys colour, how are the keys mounted - on a tube between metal posts, or in wooden blocks, what do the rings look like, etc?

Or perhaps look through collections of flutes to see if you see any familiar characteristics like key shapes or other visual features.
