Name of the making dojo: Valle con Palmeras, based in Murcia, Spain
I started making ethnic instruments from the age of 14; four years ago I discovered the shakuhachi, through classes Karate and Kobudo, Shaorin-Ryu style of Okinawa, so I started to make hocchiku of Arundo Donax and Phyllostaquys Nigra, Madake after; using synthetic lacquers; currently use natural resins and lacquers;and urushi also on request the hocchiku ji-nashi shakuhachi and nobekan I make without a prior order, but the flute ji-ari request only done as desired, from 1.6 to 3.1 shaku.
My work is 100% handmade, not use machinery, personal philosophical considerations; of course flutes plastic or PVC is strictly prohibited in my dojo!
My teacher was inspiring Watazumi-do, and I want to continue the tradition of Japanese bamboo flute, it will remain when we are gone!
