I've lost track of the distinctions here. As I remember (and can
construct from the archives) the distinction was being drawn between
display and performance. Is that accurate?

Because? For most of the folks we (GaiChikuKai) play for, the
shakuhachi is a new experience. What kind of problems would that
introduce? (Please note: that is a genuine question, not an attempt
to be merely provacative).

Yes.
