Bamboo to Shakuhachi. The producer's commentary.

[@JozevG]

I really love this! I used to be a semi-professional musician on stringed instruments. Once I started playing flutes, I found that I cared more about playing for my health and the health of others. I think flutes made me less selfish.

[@KyleChomei]

They are indeed very humbling instruments 🙏

[@Freddymars]

Thank you for sharing dear Kamal! I really like how you use your foot to secure the Shakuhachi!!

[@KyleChomei]

Thanks Fred for your feedback! Glad you liked the video. I learned this method from Sogawa Sensei! He actually works on the floor, and I also do that at times😀

[@jarisroth]

Excellent video. Thank you so much!

[@KyleChomei]

Hello Jaris, I am glad you found this video and thank you for watching. Keep well.

[@hotchiku3518]

I think it was a nightmare for all of us this period of lock down, a real nightmare. I am so grateful to have my bamboo to canalise my breath, and produced so many jinashis in different sizes to create those healing vibrations, and it helped tremendously. Thank you for being there brother.

[@KyleChomei]

A beautiful message! And thank you too 🙏

Amazing video. Thank you for posting this. If you don’t mind my asking, what is the oil you are applying at the end of the video? And do you have any other suggestions for polishing the root end?

[@KyleChomei]

Thank you 🙏 the oil I’m using is a type of olive oil that’s used in the skin. You can find it at Mejiro shakuhachi store.

[@monkey7773]

Awesome. Thank you so much and thanks for responding so quickly!! Really appreciate you.

[@yogeshwaryogeshwar2369]

Namaste Sir, I loved the base sound, it's heart touching !!! Sir at end of the vedio which liquid is used to get that glazing shine. Please help 🙏 Love from India, Mumbai.
