Alp Alphan

Painter and multi instrumentalist, I like to experiment different mediums to deepen my inner journey since 1993.

In 2001 I bought my first ney and studied metaphysics of breath and sound through Sufi music.

In 2016 I made my first jinashi, since than I felt a deep attraction to the sound of bamboo. Made hundreds of jinashi, experimented with traditional and modern tuning, made hybrids that I called ‘shakuney’. I’ve been selling shakuhachi since 2017.
