This is a non root end 2.8 EARTH Model bass shakuhachi pitched in F#. It is a fat piece of Chinese Madake bamboo that was harvested specially for me in Zhejiang China in 2001. Because of it’s length, it is made for the taller player with medium to large hands. This instrument is a great example of a fully functional, wide bore Jinashi style bass shakuhachi.
Tozanstyle Modern Jiari shakuhachi made by Shinsui. It is the top flute in the photo. This fine instrument has a fast response and capable of the “honking” Ro.
These are all 1.8 the standard lengths and numbered 1,2 and 3 from top to bottom for discussion. All three are capable of the “honking” Ro.
