Oriental Flute

In this video I failed to say that the true Shakuhachi was end blown. So at best this is a side blown pentatonic flute with a Japanese Shakuhachi scale. A most unusual flute, in deep mellow harmonic tones.
I call this flute the side blown Oriental Flute. Found at

History:
In Japan, an end blown model of this flute was played by former Samurai who could no longer carry their swords by government decree. So they made the flute out of the root stock and now could use it for protection too.
