There used to be a shop in Covent Garden 30 years ago that sold autrhentic
upmarket Chinese flutes, but it's closed now.  They did good business
with percussion instruments - I wouldmn't be surprised if much we hear
today came from them.  I think there is a man in the north of England
who plays Chinese flute, and he'd know sources.  Still, this adapts to
western flutes, and might be a good start.
