Oh yeah...

I'm not sure, but think Hochiku is an all natural flute, and mine is =
probably technically a Jinashi, given the natural but lacquered, =
slightly worked bore?

http://www.shakuhachi.ws/making.htm.

  First, there's a picture there of a fabulous ni shaku "C", jinashi =
nobekan I made - and am enjoying tremendously - from one of his $3.95 =
culms. Strong, clear, responsive tone, excellent timbre and perfect =
pitch. . . .

  But, even moreso, on that same page, there are photos of an even more =
fabulous hochiku which was recently built by Derek Choice from one of =
these $3.95 culms. Great instrument! And he's starting now on a second =
Frank's special.

  You guys who said Frank cheated you, don't know how much fun you're =
missing! Watazumi-do would have loved Frank's!
