FAQS Sheet on my ME page.

Here is a great 2.6 length standard-bore, CHIKUSING Model, rootend bass shakuhachi pitched at G# with A = 440hz. CHIKUSING translates as Hollow Bamboo and is my Jinashi style (naturla bore) instrument enhanced with my Spot Tuning Method to strengthen the response and balance while retaining the natural bamboo sound. This one was made from properly aged JAPANESE Madake bamboo harvested around 30 years ago in Japan. The crafting was started then and there but finished about 5 years ago. It stayed in my personal collection for many reasons but mostly because of sentimental value (I had used it in a performance with my teacher in Japan). This flute has is a standard-sized bore with a very nice natural taper so it plays with the fast attack, volume and dynamic range associated with well-made, fine tuned JIARI flute The voice is warm yet bright and focused. It is relatively easy to play as far as shakuhachi goes. It can be played softly with a sweet tone or pushed to an electric scream in the hands of a a more aggressive player. The player should have medium to large hands. Please know that the standard length 1.8 is the traditional sized for serious study. See my store for those flutes. I have served the international shakuhachi community by providing all aspects of professional shakuhachi work for nearly18 years (flutes, repairs, workshops etc...) and am proud to say I offer The Best Guarantee in the world. Read more FAQs on my ME page. All my instruments are 100% guaranteed for life.
