2.0 Monk's Jinashi Style Shakuhachi
Here is an old 2.0 length Jinashi shakuhachi most likely made by a Komuso Monk over 100 years ago. It is not a loud performance flute or one made for study, but it certainly is full of Chikuin - bamboo spirit.

Old flutes like this have a rustic sound that brings to my mind a misty temple on the side of a mountain. These old flutes have all the usual bumps of a natural bore flute but they feel good in the hands. Well, in my hands at least.
Enjoy the old sound.
Namaste, Perry
