HI ALL!
I have now been playing shakuhachi for about 4 months or so and am
finding that it is becoming addictive. Does anybody else find this.
If so, why?
I am also working on Eb more than the other meri notes. I'm using
western note names here as I am learning Chikuho notation and I think
most of this list are using Kinko or Tozan. I intend to learn Kinko
notation.
Does everyone else find Eb especially otsu fairly "fragile"? I am also
practicing deep-meri on low D and now get a good C# and a very weak C
natural if I really push it down. Any comments?
Does embouchure adjustment - thin airstream? wider airstream? less
pressure? help?
I wish I could import some of our summer weather. Its 32c now and
climbing to 35c.
For now...be happy and well!
Graham at Canberra, OZ.
