Features
Description
This is a traditional Kinko-ryu Shakuhachi ,an end-blown flute tuned to a pentatonic (5-note) scale. It's made of Madake bamboo , denser bamboos suitable for flute making are found only in mountainous regions where the soil is poor and growing under the natural rough circumstances with sunshine and raining. ・This instrument is very special. By various fingerings -- half- and quarter-holings -- and by controlling the angle of mouthpiece against the lip, all twelve tones of the western chromatic scale can be produced. The mouthpiece consists of an oblique blowing edge whose design is unique in that it enables you to control the pitch produced by changing the angle at which the flute is being blown. It is equally capable of producing loud, penetrating and breathy tones in its middle and upper registers, the sound of the bamboo flute leads the mind directly into spiritual thought. It is mellow ,soul- healing and serena ,reflects the many voices of nature gentle and warm, the summer rain. Frayed and gusty, the autumn breeze through the bamboos. Shrill and honking, the cry of a wild duck, winter on its tail,by playing a single tone purely enough, you can realize his original nature. ・Good souding for not only the traditional music but also Jazz and contemporary, was favoured by any musicians who enjoying the natural sound, It was very special when you try to play Jazz such as the "TAKE FIVE". .Each flute is evaluated and adjusted to produce an optimum balance in all of the notes played. This fine tuning process is a delicate art. Fine tuning the bore coupled with adjust accounts for the superior tonal quality, responsiveness and accuracy of tuning characteristic of JIM music instruments. .This flute case is special , is in caring for your shakuhach flute. It maintains a constant relative humidity and it does so automatically without guess work or adjustments based on climate, temperature, season or geographical location.
