## Description

This is a traditional Japanese TOZAN ryu Shakuhachi, It's made of Madake bamboo what is a giant timber bamboo most abundant in fertile lowland valleys. Smaller diameter, denser bamboos suitable for flute making are found only in mountainous regions and growing under the natural rough circumstances with sunshine and raining. This instrument is very special. By various fingerings -- half- and quarter-holings -- and by controlling the angle of mouthpiece against the lip, all twelve tones of the western chromatic scale can be produced. The mouthpiece consists of an oblique blowing edge whose design is unique in that it enables you to control the pitch produced by changing the angle at which the flute is being blown. It will produces a delicate change of intonation -- a swelling or bending of notes characteristic of the traditional music. The beautiful introverted sounds of shakuhachi music seem closer to nature than to other instrumental forms and are best learned by the ear and heart rather than by the eye and brain. Each flute is evaluated and adjusted to produce an optimum balance in all of the notes played. This fine tuning process is a delicate art; Fine tuning the bore coupled with adjust accounts for the superior tonal quality, responsiveness and accuracy of tuning characteristic of JIM music instruments. Good sounding for not only the traditional music but also Jazz and contemporary, the sounding from Shakuhachi is mellow ,soul-healing and serena , was favoured by any musicians who enjoying the natural sound, It was very special when you try to play Jazz such as the "TAKE FIVE". The appearance of Shakuhachi flute might be little different from the photograph as shown due to each one was Hand-craffted . with a soft leather cap by hand made carfully in case the mouthpiece of Shakuhachi be harmed from accident . This flute case is in caring for your shakuhach flute. It maintains a constant relative humidity level optimum for musical instruments.

Review: Sympathischer Kontakt. Mit persönlicher Nachricht in Deutsch, was schon beeindruckend ist. Das Instrument ist hochwertig so weit ich das als Anfänger beurteilen kann. desertcart sollte darauf hinweisen, dass Zollgebühren von 17 € anfallen die FedEx eintreibt.
Review: I am not at all a seasoned shakuhachi player but this bamboo flute is above what I was expecting. Looks are very pleasing and is in tune on a electronic tuner and sounds very quality. The lowest octave is on the quieter/softer side so that could be a plus or minus given your preference. It has something to do with the style of flute making. I was expecting it to be louder in that range but after some research found this to be the way jinashi flutes are made to sound. I am still very pleased with the overall sound quality it produces!

It's a very pretty shakuhachi, and comes in a neat box, bag, etc. It is ideal for trying out the shakuhachi and seeing if you're going to maintain an interest in playing it - it's not that hard to toot out a few notes but it takes a lot of work over a lot of time to become an adept player. It is, however, excellent breathing training, and for the purpose of breathing-meditation, this is perfect and all you need. Plus it looks good enough to hang on the wall.
