I just saw you perform at Punahou last night. It was one of the most moving songs, and performances I have ever heard or seen live. Thank you for your art and gift. What a privilege to have seen you yesterday. With gratitude...

The shakuhachi has a violin--or is it a viola?--quality here. Just one more example of how versatile the shakuhachi is. Very nice!

thx for this. helpfull for the fingering notation
@ravioli58023 ай бұрын
Thank you! But I can't seem to understand how you manage to get the higher note while doing the alternating "hammer on" (for lack of a better word) with your right index finger on the second hole on the last of the three "verses" (or however it is called). You seem to be able to get a higher tone than I can when I release all holes and simply blow into the shakuhachi, how is that possible?

@@ravioli5802 sorry, hard for me to answer your question without seeing you play.
@Harkwit13 күн бұрын
Old reply, so maybe you already figured out, but that note is in the Kan register which requires a different shape and formation of the mouth and wind direction. It's sort of the next stage of Shakuhachi mastery after you master the first octave.
