Grazie grazie grazie !! Erano giorni che ci provavo senza riuscirci, dopo aver visto il tuo video ci sono riuscita!! Ancora non ci credo, grazie mille ❤❤❤

Thank you for this video! Such a nice intro as well, do you remember which piece it is?

This is so boring. I wanted to learn something but…..boring!

Hi. I enjoy much to create my own bamboo flutes. I wonder how to know where to subtract material from inside a bamboo flute. Working on the mouthpiece and filing down the nodes, I can improve its range. Many layers of Shellac help to reduce air friction and imrpove tone quality. But there is still a missing piece. I do not get higher register proberly. on a higher pitch I produce airy noise instead of a tone. Or, if I get a tone by moving there from a working tone, the tone it diminishes quickly into noise. Seems to be a resonance problem. I would be thankful if you share some ideas about this, if it is acceptable for you to do so in public.

Thank you so much for this video and Embouchure guide! Beautiful and clear! It helped me so much, after so many years of playing Chakuhachi, to finally understand clearly!

If you dont play the naruto beat on it im not buying it

Faz meses que tenho procurado explicação de como tocar a shakuhachi. Estou começando apenas, mas esse vídeo me fez dar um salto!

I’m in Virginia too! How can you tell if it is madake bamboo? Could you make a video on he difference please? 🙏🏼 🙏🏼🙏🏼

At about 39 seconds, you seem to skip the part where we place the line under the rubber band. It’s not really clear. It also looks like you make the first loop towards one end of the Bamboo but then the rest of the loops go the opposite way. Is this accurate? I think this video would be a lot better if you would simply speak the part, and then we could look at the translation of text.

Thank you for your tutorial. I am new to Shakuhachi, but I finally get sound out of it. It appears to me that I need to be careful not to press the Shakuhachi too strong against my mouth. If I do, it seems to have an impact on my lips, and I get broken sound. But if I try to place my Shakuhachi more gently against my lips, it appears that I have more control maintaining an even sound. Does the tongue do something in 'normal' tone production? Or, does it keep away from lips? Happy creating!

Where I can find one??

Got the cheap PVC version in Japan last month but can't get any sound despite all these tips...

Oh thank you so much for this video! I have been learning for more than a year and apparently I have used all the things beginners do to get a sound that keep me from improving. So now I guess I’ll just have to start over again and try to stop all my bad habits 😅 Anyway at least I understand why the sound isn’t improving and why I can’t play long notes. Thank you again and I hope I’ll get it better this time.

Best teacher ❤ your méthods and tips help me in fews days practice to be able to get Kan sound 😮 , now I will practise more and more to be able to do KAN range with Otzu naturaly on each demand … Many thanks for help you give 🎉

That is the great advices vidéo i needed to understand how to kan …❤❤❤ thanks 🙏

Great tips ❤

I ordered the Yuu Flute a few months ago and am very new to the shakuhachi, and for the last week or two I finally started to understand the air pressure-principle where the notes (especially Kan\higher octave notes) have so much more quality and clarity if you squeeze the lips together and basically make them fight the air that's trying to push through a very thin hole. Before discovering this I could only play Kan very loudly, brute-forcing it, so this might be the most important element of playing the shakuhachi. The only problem was, I couldn't always find the exact angle from which to blow into the flute until watching this. I think I always held the flute at a lower angle ,so that paired with my inexperience made me sometimes miss notes and have less clarity, until now. I followed your instructions step by step, raised the flute so my lips can make contact with the blowing edge, and then lowered it just slightly, and it made hitting notes like 10x easier! Thanks for the video!

Very best tutorial

Like it but you talk too much show more

will this work for side blown(transverse) flutes too?

Kakariko Village theme! Lovely

I bought a shakuhachi 23 years ago and could never make a sound. I knew it played, the man that sold it to me played it when I bought it, but I was too shy to ask for a lesson. I would come back and try it every few years and could never get a sound until now. After 9 minutes of this video I am making sounds every try now! Thank you so much!

This is extremely useful and helps to understand alot of what should be going on

Inrecently bought a shakuchai and its so hard to even make a sound

very nice chiba 尺八

Thanks so much for this. I've long had a couple of straight lightweight "starter" shakuhachis which I managed to get tones out of, and recently acquired a used ca 1950s shakuhachi from a Japanese antiques dealer on Etsy. I was having a lot of trouble playing this new instrument which was heavier and considerably thicker than what I was used to, but after watching your video things improved very quickly. Excellent and very clear instructions regarding playing position and embouchure.

My shakuhachi has a bad song, how do ?

Hi, thank you ❤

So hard my sound is very bad !

good job and good luck

I love it. ❤

There's nothing that comes close to this flute in terms of sound, timbre and expression, it really does sound (coincidentally & conveniently) spiritual.

simply amazing and wonderful!! I've been learning Shakuhachi, and your videos inspire and teach me a lot! Thank you and a hug!

Hownice !

Anyone else here from The book Wabi Sabi by Beth kempton?

beautiful

Promo'SM

I made a sound for a split second and had a mini dance party lmao 🎉🎉

No matter what, I literally can't make ANY noise on it. Could be the instrument itself, thought, since it's 3D printed.

👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

👍🏻

Nice playing

i cant seem to make a sound from the shakuhachi :( how do you do this

1-no inchar mejillas 2-que los labios no sean empujados por el aire 3-pequeña abertura en los labios

This is gorgeous. I stumbled upon it while watching your various (excellent) shakuhachi guides and immediately went to Apple Music to see if you have anything similar.

Very meditative 🙏☯️

It. works! today I was able to hold the sound more sustained and clear, I hope that tomorrow I will not return to the old habit!🙏😢

Still cant make a sound.... just got my first shakuhachi.....

Marvelous; delicate and expressive. Can anyone really hear a difference between a well made Murei and a root end shakuhachi made with comparable skill?
