>&gt;Justin/Kiku,
>&gt;Hi, I live in the UK and have very recently joined the list. I was
>&gt;wondering if you will be giving any performances in London soon? If
>&gt;I'm not slaving away at work I'd love to hear you.
>&gt;Back to the thread - the first flute I bought was a plain unbound
>&gt;bamboo meditation flute of Monty's which is kept in a plastic bag.
>&gt;It hasn't cracked so far.
>&gt;On a general note, If anyone knows of any events, or in particular
>&gt;decent tuition in the UK I would be very grateful for the
>&gt;information. I'm trying to teach myself using books with all the
>&gt;pitfalls this can entail. In fact sometimes I'm not playing in a
>&gt;pitfall - more like a pothole.
>&gt;Regards to everyone,
>&gt;Steve.

>&gt;&gt;Justin,
>&gt;&gt;
>&gt;&gt;The worst enemy in England for the shakuhachi is central heating=
...
>&gt;&gt;but since we need that for ourselves, just keep your shakuhachi =
as
>&gt;&gt;far away from it as possible. My experience is, that if you play
>&gt;&gt;your shakuhachi almost enery day, and keep it in plastic... it
>&gt;&gt;would stay healthy and sound beautiful. Your breath is the best
>&gt;&gt;humidifier for the instrument.
>&gt;&gt;
>&gt;&gt;See you in soon London,
>&gt;&gt;Kiku
>&gt;&gt;

>&gt;&gt;&amp;gt;
>&gt;&gt;&amp;gt;About humidity:
>&gt;&gt;&amp;gt;So I'll be in the UK, and I'm concerned to keep my
>&gt;&gt;&amp;gt;shakuhachi in the right humidity. I thought about
>&gt;&gt;&amp;gt;making a box, and having some kind of humidity
>&gt;&gt;&amp;gt;measuring devise in it. Does anyone know what kind is
>&gt;&gt;&amp;gt;available and suitable, and where to get such a
>&gt;&gt;&amp;gt;devise?
>&gt;&gt;&amp;gt; And then I thought of maybe keeping a cup of water in
>&gt;&gt;&amp;gt;the box, maybe varying the size of cup until the
>&gt;&gt;&amp;gt;humidity reading stabilizes at the right level. What
>&gt;&gt;&amp;gt;do those of experience think - right idea? And, what
>&gt;&gt;&amp;gt;IS the right humidity level one ought to keep them at?
>&gt;&gt;&amp;gt;Thanks all
>&gt;&gt;&amp;gt;Justin.
>&gt;&gt;&amp;gt;
