Has anyone here aplied the technique of circular breathing to the Shakuhachi?
Basically it is the process of sucking in quick breaths with the nose into
the lungs while keeping the notes going by expelling only the air held within
the cheeks and mouth. Commonly used in playing didgeridoo and some other
instruments.
