Hi Bruce,

I know Ko quite well, had the pleasure of a visit from him recently
and made three of the shakuhachi he is currently playing on.

I also carry his CD. http://www.shakuhachi.com/R-Shaku-Umezaki.html

NT Times and NY Magazine reviews as well as a photo of his work with
Yo Yo Ma can be found at http://www.shakuhachi.com/TOC-Articles.html

Ko's web site can be accessed directly from
http://www.shakuhachi.com/L-ShakuhachiPlayers.html

Finally, he's a really nice guy and excellent shakuhachi player.

All the best.

Monty
