Okay, it's a nobe. Or, as I call it on my web site, a nobekan.
I had not read that hochiku do not have painted bores, but I'll take =
your word for it. The only other title left is nobe or nobekan. It =
certainly is not a shakuhachi.

I'm not sure, but think Hochiku is an all natural flute, and mine is =

slightly worked bore?

Subject: Frank's $3.95 culms!
Not long ago certain persons felt it was inappropriate for me to =
recommend Frank's cheapo root culms; they figured he had cheated them =
out of their $3.95 investments.
Well, boys, go take a look at the bottom of =
http://www.shakuhachi.ws/making.htm.
First, there's a picture there of a fabulous ni shaku "C", jinashi =
nobekan I made - and am enjoying tremendously - from one of his $3.95 =
culms. Strong, clear, responsive tone, excellent timbre and perfect =
pitch. . . .
But, even moreso, on that same page, there are photos of an even =
more fabulous hochiku which was recently built by Derek Choice from one =
of these $3.95 culms. Great instrument! And he's starting now on a =
second Frank's special.
You guys who said Frank cheated you, don't know how much fun you're =
missing! Watazumi-do would have loved Frank's!
