Travel into the USA with a blackwood flute

My band mates and I are heading to Ireland in June. I'd like to take my McGee black wood with me but am wondering if I'm going to get hassled by American authorities coming back in. I got this flute in a trade, have no documentation and am feeling insecure with Fish and Game's capricious enforcement...
