Hi Bas,
I went to Nepal before I started playing the shakuhachi, but for years I
have imagined playing in those mountains.
I've always been worried, though, about what effects the cold and extreme
un-humidity would have on my flute.
Did you have any problems? What steps did you take to prevent cracking?
Thanks,
Zachary
