Try recording your chirp with the same reverb as used on the record you
are listening to. Could be an encouraging experience!<br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite>What variables determine the
quality of the distinctive shakuhachi chirp created by repeating a note?
My chirp ain't no where near the chirping I hear on the discs I
have.<br><br>
Is the distinctiveness and sharpness determined by:<br><br>
a) The strength of your breath<br><br>
b) The quickness of your finger rising and falling back on the
hole.<br><br>
c) The height of your finger as it leaves the hole<br><br>
d) the quality of the instrument you are playing on.<br><br>
or<br><br>
e) some combination of all of the above.<br><br>
Thanks for the help<br><br>
