Finding a shakuhachi

Hello,
I am looking for advice and leads on purchasing a shakuhachi for myself.
I have been using an instrument on loan from Wesleyan Univ. for the past
two years, but now I am leaving the area and moving to upstate New York,
and I want to get a new instrument. My budget is about $250-500, and I am
open to getting a nice wood one or a good bamboo one. Ideally, I would
like to test the instrument out before buying it. I welcome all ideas
about where I should look, both online and in the US or beyond. Is there
anywhere or anyone in the northeast US who is either selling a shakuhachi
or knows someone who is, that I might be able to check out?

I appreciate your help, and you can reply to me individually or to the
group, if you think it would benefit the group.
sincerely,
Mike Peluse
Middletown, Connecticut
