  • Very nice quality!
Size: Tozan Ryu (Key of D)
I am not at all a seasoned shakuhachi player but this bamboo flute is above what I was expecting. Looks are very pleasing and is in tune on a electronic tuner and sounds very quality. The lowest octave is on the quieter/softer side so that could be a plus or minus given your preference. It has something to do with the style of flute making. I was expecting it to be louder in that range but after some research found this to be the way jinashi flutes are made to sound. I am still very pleased with the overall sound quality it produces! ... show more

  • OK for the price
Size: Tozan Ryu (Key of D)
It's a very pretty shakuhachi, and comes in a neat box, bag, etc. It is ideal for trying out the shakuhachi and seeing if you're going to maintain an interest in playing it - it's not that hard to toot out a few notes but it takes a lot of work over a lot of time to become an adept player. It is, however, excellent breathing training, and for the purpose of breathing-meditation, this is perfect and all you need. Plus it looks good enough to hang on the wall. ... show more

  • Beautiful shakuhachi
Size: Tozan Ryu (Key of D)
I had initially ordered more directly from Johnson (through Amazon.ca) and due to spring festival, he couldn't expedite shipping. Communication was clear and quick and he sent me to Amazon.com to buy the same flute, shipped through Amazon. I ordered it for my father, who wanted the shakuhachi rather quickly to spend the rest of winter with it. Delivery was prompt and my father says it is beautiful, shows excellent craftmanship, and makes a wonderful sound. ... show more

  • Professional level shakuhachi
Size: Tozan Ryu (Key of D)
If you are looking for a professional level shakuhachi from a very reputable shakuhachi maker, I most highly recommend Johnson Art. He is a very highly skilled flute maker. I have two of his flutes and very much enjoy playing them. His madake shakuhachi are excellent and exceptionally well made. His flutes have a very clear pitch, are very responsive, and are well balanced throughout the octaves. They have excellent tone color and warmth. Johnson is very attentive to your particular needs in a flute, and readily addresses them. I would highly recommend you consider getting a shakuhachi from him. ... show more

  • Love it
Size: 1.8 KINGKO BINDING
I plan on doing a more detailed review down the road, but suffice it to say I love my new flute! It’s been 3 years since I’ve had a Shakuhachi, previously I owned a Shakuhachi Yuu, and this is everything I wanted it to be. Well worth the price of admission. (Also, if you haven’t taken lessons, please take lessons; Specifically about the flute embouchure, it is critical to getting this kind of flute to sing, or even make a sound really, haha.) ... show more
