Zac Zinger - Yesterday... on a metal shakuhachi?? (ft. Yukihiko Mitsuka)

[@terukouzan]

Great tone, nice arrangement!

[@bryanquick3349]

the harmonies are absolutely lovely

[@GiacomodellaSvezia]

What a lyrical instrument!

[@MarkedForJazz]

Now there are 7 songs which have almost made me cry. Before watching this video, it was 6. Brilliantly done, Mr. Zinger.

Nailing it Zac! Beautiful arrangement. Bringing awareness of the shakuhachi to western sensibilities

[@myriadpath]

i already knew zac was an amazing player, but this arrangement is absolutely gorgeous

[@mitchellhintzsche6910]

Just came by to tell you that I am definitely going to write a transcription from your solo on The Real Folk Blues, that was absolutely killer

[@videogamingmusician9844]

Absolutely love it! Great tasty arrangement and I so wanna try one of those shakuhachi! Bring them to the next world shakuhachi festival!

[@aarnimustakallio7769]

1:19 to 1:27 was very cool. I don’t even know what happened there.

[@antonsackley5514]

[@IsakHoel]

Brilliant!

[@kieranklaassen]

Lovely!

[@koszegimatyas]

The title itself is already teasing and the music is truly awesome! 👍

[@hidemunegodeep6960]

This Zac's arrangement was performed by Dozan Fujiwara and his folks at Japanese music TV show "Daimei no nai Ongakukai" on 2021Jan23rd. Hope Zac Zinger appear as performer on this program near future!

[@astralmarmoset]

Wow 🌹bravo!

[@ugnug]

That was insane

[@The_pebble_music]

Hey man ! I'm blown away by the phrasings y'all shakuhachi players can work out. I was wondering if you had any experience with Irish music ? I always saw similarities between jazz session and irish sessions (reprising of themes to reinterpret them in a collective setting) and I'm always on the hunt to find the next jazz/irish project, as I think both worlds have something to inspire each other. The Ollam, a michigan based band is close to my heart in this way and I always imagined your shakuhachi or sax having a place in these melodies. Anyway, thank you again for your music, Zac, it is always a joy bringing treat.

[@zingerzmusic]

Thanks! I don’t know much about Irish music, but some of the ornamentations used in traditional shakuhachi playing do seem to have similar techniques on Irish flute. Check out Philip Horan, he’s explored this combination much more deeply!

[@The_pebble_music]

@@zingerzmusic Thanks, man !

[@SlyHikari03]

It’s like Irish sounding. Also, you need to cover Fi’s theme from Zelda.

[@prarobinson]

I've been curious to try one of these. How do you find their responsiveness? Do they play like shakuhachi? The timbre seems much brighter and purer, clearer, but less interesting in a way...

[@zingerzmusic]

It is a shakuhachi, so yes it plays like one. The design is that of Senshu's which means bigger holes and a modern cut utaguchi with a flared bell. I have one of those in bamboo, so compared to that the Katana plays very similarly. There might be a clearer tone depending on the player, but there is a noticeably better response in the extremes of the third octave (see 3:13).

[@rollycabrita8129]

Wow... a dash of Jacob Collier type harmonies.

[@fabsax5832]

where can I find a flute of this aluminum to buy?

@@zingerzmusic thanks! show !👍🏻😁🎶🎶🎶🎷

[@ericdano]

How much are these?

[@ArvidOlson]

So much 251 Awesome arrangement though!

[@MrLanceDaily]

Ron Burgundy ain’t got nothing on you 🙃

[@zingerzmusic]

Ha, this aluminum is probably better for fire breathing than the bamboo too.
