TENSEI Line Restored Japanese Shakuhachi
2.0 Length C pitched instrument (24", 60 cm)
24mm standard top interior diameter.
Tensei is my line of restored Japanese made flutes. I collected this one in 2014 in Japan when I was on my Asian Cultural Council grant to study Edo Period instruments and early shakuhachi music of the Komuso zen monks. In Japanese, Tensei translates to "rebirth of music". I am proud and humbled to be able to offer these flutes a second life in my low-impact approach to repairs. Wooden flutes in Japan are made for serious students of contemporary musicians who can not afford well-made bamboo instruments. They are the best way to start unless one has a teacher to guide them into buying a proper well made instrument. Professionals who use these as back up instruments have them fine-tuned for more dynamic response. This one was fine-tuned by me personally and plays at the highest level for a wooden shakuhachi. As a 2.0 length, its longer than the standard 1.8 and has a deeper, warmer vibratory voice. It's fluid and easy across both octaves. It can handle all the traditional fingerings of shakuhachi music. The Kinkyo Ryu style utagugi paint is original but a little worn. This does not affect the playability in any way.
If you need a 1.8 like the flutes in teh video for lessons, please reach out as I have many waiting to find the right owner. Or, I can make a custom flute for your needs. Free domestic USA shipping international usps priority express is .
This flute come with a generous audition period with a lifetime guarantee. In 2002 I received the Japan United States Friendship Commission to study shakuhachi making and playing in Japan under Kinya Sogawa, who apprenticed with Chikusen Tamai, who also trained many of the top professional shakuhachi makers in Japan today. I understand how difficult it is to find the right instrument. You can also google my name and yungflutes for videos, blog and much more information. I would be happy to send a video demo of this flute. Because I am a repair person, I can offer fine restored shakuhachi flutes well below the market price. I've been making and selling shakuhachi for over 25 years, the first to sell wehn ebay came around. I know how difficult it is to find the right flute. Please search my name and yungflutes to learn more about my craft and how my flutes can help your local food bank. Thank for looking, Perry
