Hi guys -
I'm a brand new dumb-but-infinitely-enthusiastic shakuhachi player, =
teaching myself for the moment, on my Japanese PVC 1.8'. =20
I've satisfactorily made two 1.8' PVC shakuhachi, one 2.0 "C" =
shakuhachi, one "A" Alto transverse PVC flute, and a mammoth bass 3' 1" =
x 1" id PVC hochiku in the key of low "F", one step lower than the huge =
Ni Shaku Ha Sun 2.8' in "G".
But now I also want to make a real madake root shakuhachi, either a Ni =
Shaku 2.0' "C" or, more likely a Ni Shaku Yon Sun 2.4' "A". And I am a =
superlative hand craftsman, as witness my site at =
http://www.copperheadknives.com.
But next I've got to acquire the bamboo.
Can anyone tell me anything about the ibushi "Smoked" madake root bamboo =
available in Japan? Would I want to use it for my shakuhachi? At $219 =
a chunk, it's not exactly disposable.
Thank you very much!
