Lorne,
I find that any low pitched Shakuhachi, or Hochiku demands careful control of
breath.
When I play my 1.6 I don't need the control that I must use to blow a 2.3 or
longer. The low, deep vibrations relax me more and at least in my experience
require that the breath come from deep within.
Best,
Tony
