Tony,
 
I have two of John's flutes and both are fine examples of hocchiku. I have a
1.8 and a 2.1, approximately, and both are very easy to play with intervals
that are good. I have played the 1.8 along with recorded honkyoku and it
blended perfectly.
 
I would be interested in selling you the 1.8. It all natural without inlay
in the utaguchi. As I have about 20 other flutes, I seldom play it and would
like to see it go to a good home. It is a root end.
 
Call me at 352-237-4107 with any questions and I will play it for you over
the phone.
 
I paid $180 for it as I remember, but if you want it, for you the price is
$75. I still have the 3.0 shakuhachi grande I got from you on ebay two years
ago made by Perry Yung. Damn fine flute! I had an offer to buy if from Peter
Phippen, but couldn't turn loose of it.
 
Let me know.
