I have made over 1000 shakuhachi in 35 years and sent them to 34 countries. Only two have been returned and these were damaged in transit. Self taught over a long period of time, but much advice given by very good players. Riley Lee is my teacher and without his help it would have been impossible. My aim in making a shakuhachi is function and beauty. It has to look great and do everything required of a shakuhachi. Wooden flutes are guaranteed against cracking. I have used over 100 varieties of timber and found no change in accoustic qualities.
Selling shakuhachi since 1977.
