I do not own the recording, the recording is available to listening on KZbin and owned by particular record companies. I am showcasing a fragment to show how the instrument works in a Sankyoku environment.
The instrument is a personal instrument of my friend, who is forced to sell all his instruments due to health issues.

中村 谷三 - Nakamura Tanizou - actual name
age of shakuhachi: 50 - 100 years
visual features: Goma bamboo, slight elegant curve, very silky in touch, light
sound features: responsive, clear, smooth. Kinko sound, but also works well for Dokyoku repertoire which is not always the case. Mellower than some modern instruments.
flaws: No visible cracks. Joint is lubricated and well maintained. It might be repaired in 5-10 years if it gets loose (depending on usage), now it works perfectly. Utaguchi is intact.
identification: I identified the instrument on basis of similar instrument with the same hanko and some additional hanko with the name Tanizou and komuso.com website. It is not Momose Hodou instrument. My teacher has been told the instrument is around or just after the war period.
history of the instrument: My friend Jan bought this instrument from my teacher Kyle Chomei Kamal Helou somewhere near 2015. It has been Jan's main instrument throughout the years.
