NEW 2.75 SHAKUHACHI






Hello! work almost finished with my last big bore 2.75 flute..pitched in F..made with a very thick and heavy piece of chinese madake..natural utaguchi,i have applied a "marble like" ikigaeshi ("breath-return") because the natural section of the ring was broken from the starting of making,it's really confortable howhever.
I have add a light coat of a natural,trasparent lacquer;outside and in the bore for prevent mold and trouble with moisture..the tone is rich,dark and hollow..the khan register is a little difficoult to dominate,but still in tune with itself..

here is the sound..sorry for the poor quality i have recorded with hurry..
