I have met Tim Hoffman a few times and heard him give a lecture to one
of the early Shakuhachi symposiums in Bei sei cho. He said that Indian
Raga scales come more naturally to the Shakuhachi than the more commonly
used modes for honkyoku and gaikyoku. If you want more information I
have Tim Hoffman's e-mail address (can't divulge it to a public list),
I'll forward your message to him (I don't know if he subscribes to this
list or not)...He's a very friendly man and will no doubt reply
directly, he is certainly oobsessed with the marriage of Indian music
and the Shakuhachi
Best Regards,
Bill O'Connor.
