There is some excellent advice at www.navaching.com regarding shakuhachi flutes and oil. Go to the section on shakuhachi and then scroll down to the large menu and look for "oiling bamboo" or something like that. Very informative. Lots of other shakuhachi info as well on this really interesting site. Worth searching around on, in my opinion. Plus, the book "The Structure of Delight" is, well, a delight.

I bound my shakuhachi and it's holding up well. I have some questions
concerning cracks and oil:
1. Is the purpose of the bind to keep the opening of the crack from
getting wider? Is there any thing I can do to fill the crack or to
ensure that the crack does not continue down or up the flute? Should I
bind the entire cracked area?
2. I don't have any walnut oil and my flute is dry. Is there any
substitute that I can use?
Thanks,
David
