1.8s for Traditional Study Available!
Hi all. Today I have two entry level 1.8s available. These are perfect for the serious student of shakuhachi music.
This is an old two piece root end that was a hair flat. I openned up the root and finger holes to make the whole flute sharper. It now plays in tune at A = 440 hz ofr the strong player. Price $600
The utaguchi was chipped badly. I refurbished it with CA glue mixed with bamboo dust.
It's exactly like the day it was originally finished, about 50-60 years ago.
Openned root for modern tuning.
The crack is completely sealed and will not open up under normal shakuhachi care.
The Hanko of the original maker
This is one of my YUNG Student Models that was finished in Black urushi modelled after old Komuso shakuhachi.
A Kinko Style utaguchi inlay made form Water Buffalo horn
The bindings were also painted over.
This helps to seal them in and prevent slippage. Price $400
Let me know if you want to hear one, or both.
Namaste, Perry
