<html><div style='background-color:'><P>Greetings all. </P>
<P>I've a question about the 'tolality' of shakuhachi vs koto. When one is blowing a ro on a 1.8 does that D (relative) equall the pitch as notated as the same pitch-wise in the koto. The notation is somewhat different. As an example from my days in highschool band, if one played a B-flat trumpet and was playing with a C - flute. For both instruments to be playing the same pitch the trumpet (beining in B-flat) would have to play a note a step above to equall the pitch played by the flute. </P>
<P>Comparitevely: the shakuhachi vs the koto..................</P>
<P>What provokes this question is that I have a copy of music for shakuhachi and koto. Variations on Sakura. The koto is written in the shakuhachi part in kiinko notation. When I compare this to the separate koto notation and compare it to the kanji against the western staf it appears not to coincide with where the shakuhachi notation/pitch would be. </P>
<P>So I thought I'd throw the question out to someone more experience with this than I. </P>
