Nelson, no idea about the dimensions. For the alto clari I cut the PVC
insert too long and made about four cuts before the low d and high d made
a decent octave. It doesn't sound too great though - perhaps because of
my lack of technique. The shaku mpc would need experimentation.<br>
Could even be worth selling on the internet, if nobody's doing it
already.<br><br>

A Boehm shakuhachi? No reason not to denigrate two traditions at the
same<br>
time--and use PVC to do it. The Instrument Anarchists strike yet
again.<br><br>
What dimensions would be needed? To attach and length?<br><br>
