My dear Shakuhachi friends:

I=B4ve noticed in several recordings by grand masters (i.e. Kohachiro =
Miyata) that shakuhachi sounds so beautiful... It's a clear sound just =
like clarinet, without any 'airy' effect (at least, 90% pure tone - 10% =
airy sound) My questions are:

1. The less 'airy' sound >>>> the better sound? (is this a notable sign =
of quality?)

2. How can I reach that sound? (years of practice..? embochure..? =
quality of the instrument..?)

Please enlighten me with your wisdom.

Greetings from Spain.
