Re: PVC second octave-Spanish shak?Dear Julia & Alfredo:
I'm so glad to meet Spanish people who love shakuhachi!!
I was really trapped a years ago when I listened to 'kumoi jishi', a =
traditional japanese song played by a Shaku...
Since that happened, I promised myself to learn this fabulous =
instrument... but here in Spain is pretty hard to find teachers, =
lessons, books or bamboo .....so I have to order stuff from Monty =
Levenson, one of the grand masters shakuhachi makers in the world.
I would like to share with you my experiences!
By the way, I live in Fuengirola, near Malaga (south Spain)

Hello everybody! Hello Javier!
I am a member of this list since 1998 (maybe more), but I had never =
send an email until today.
I would like to know if there are more shakuhachi lovers hidden =
Spaniards like me. May be we could create a community or something so!
I live in Colmenar Viejo, 30 km north from Madrid.
Hope to have dozens of answers!
Alfredo.

Asunto: PVC second octave
Hello to everybody! Greetings from Spain!
I have built seven PVC shakuhachis (1.8, tuned in D)
I can get all notes of lower (otsu) octave with nice and rich =
sounds, but I have put all my efforts to get any sound of high (kan) =
octave with no results but the first two notes (ro and tsu). I've tried =
hard to 'overblow' to get these sounds. Actually I play silver flute =
with no troubles....These are my theories:
1. The PVC pipe cannot reach such high frecuencies because of its =
rigid structure...
2. My technique is wrong.
What's wrong with PVC and Kan octave??
Please, enlighten me with your wisdom...
Thanks in advance.
