Hello!
My name is C=E9sar, I am portuguese, and my life is divided between
Lisbon and Castelo Branco (actually near the portuguese-spanish
border). My career is focused both in the recorder and in orchestral
conducting, but I have discovered the shakuhachi some years ago, and
since the day I got a good instrument from Japan I've been practicing
every day. To learn the notation and the specific techniques of the
shakuhachi I used both the Christopher Blasdel book and the Annuals of
the international society. But my best teachers are the masters of
shakuhachi I hear on CD when they play the same pieces for which I
have a score. It is good to know that there are people in a neighbor
country with interest in the shakuhachi.
Warm regards

<excerpt>Hello everybody! Hello Javier!
I am a member of this list since 1998 (maybe more), but I had never
send an email until today.
I would like to know if there are more shakuhachi lovers hidden
Spaniards like me. May be we could create a community or something so!
I live in Colmenar Viejo, 30 km north from Madrid.
Hope to have dozens of answers!

<fontfamily><param>Arial</param><smaller>Hello to everybody! Greetings
from Spain!
I have built seven PVC shakuhachis (1.8, tuned in D)
I can get all notes of lower (otsu) octave with nice and rich sounds,
but I have put all my efforts to get any sound of high (kan) octave
with no results but the first two notes (ro and tsu). I've tried hard
to 'overblow' to get these sounds. Actually I play silver flute with
no troubles....These are my theories:
1. The PVC pipe cannot reach such high frecuencies because of its
rigid structure...
2. My technique is wrong.
What's wrong with PVC and Kan octave??
Please, enlighten me with your wisdom...
Thanks in advance.
