This Shakuhachi was made from a piece of bamboo saved from an old Japanese house that was demolition in Saitama, Japan. It had been part of the kitchen ceiling for over 200 years. All the advanced fingerings work for all Honkyoku music and beyond. The person who saved the bamboo magically cut it at a perfect 2.4 length. The saw mark was quite beautiful so I just lacquered over it to preservation. The A pitch is A 440 for anyone who can play.  A warm deep vibrant sound for beginners and the advanced. A versatile instrument for nearly any kind of playing - contemporary to meditation.
I received an Asian Cultural Council grant to study Edo Period instruments and early shakuhachi music of the Komuso zen monks. 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.  If you need a 1.8 length 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.
