I don't know how much you wish to spend, but the Mejiro shakuhachi
shop in Tokyo has lots of different sizes and grades of root-end
bamboo "poles" for sale (quotes used because these poles are only
about 3 to 4 ft long).

They are on the web at:

www01.u-page.so-net.or.jp/qa2/mejiro/CatalogueEnglish.html

and they will answer email (in English) at mejiro@qa2.so-net.ne.jp

Please tell Saori I said hello.
