Okay, so it is definitely an early recorder. I just have to figure out how early and which type.

Well, after watching this video: http://www.ehow.com/video_2374818_irish-flute_.html
I have decided that it is not an Irish flute... he says, "...also six holes. There are other types of flutes that might have a thumb hole - that would not be Irish style." Mine has 7 finger holes on the front, a thumb hole, and 2 random ones at the bottom. Also they are widely spaced - I can't even fit my fingers on it correctly
Oh also, the only way I can get any sound to come out of it is by blowing into the slit at the end of this side (see picture).
On with the search I guess! Getting closer...

Yes, as I am researching, it is looking most like an Irish Flute, or whistle? All the oboes I'm seeing have some metal and reeds as well. What I have is just all wood, nothing else. It is just one piece and does not come apart. I will post more pictures in more posts. Thank you everyone for the input and help!

Hi everyone! I'm hoping that someone can help me - I have this wooden recorder, and I was wondering if anyone knows exactly what it is? I saw one just like it on eBay, but shorter - they didn't know what it was either. It is 29 inches long. Thank you!
P.S. This isn't the greatest picture, so I do have more pictures if needed.
