New player... new recording
Hi everyone
I received my first Shakuhachi a week and a half ago, a Perry Yung 2.4 Earth model. So far I have to say I love it!
I have put together a recording of myself playing with nature sounds in the background recorded at my parents forest. By no means do I consider myself a good player yet but wanted to have some experienced players listen and hopefully give some feedback. I have not learned any pieces yet and just play from within
follow the link below and click play on the player. I suggest using headphones to hear some of the subtleties
Thank you!

Bravo,
that was nice. Very good stuff.
I am sure that all your other flute experience is making a huge impact on your progress with the shakuhachi (even if you are not sure how). Your NAF flutes look very beautiful by the way.
I am new too. Have been playing since January. For the last couple of months I have also been playing on a Perry 2.4 Earth Model that my new shakuhachi friend Shaman141 sold to me. It has been great. I also have a Yuu. I am just now able to move into the second octave (by choice), and I must say, I find the bamboo 2.4 lets me get there in a "more" natural, almost effortless way, whearas the Yuu requires a little bit of struggling.
This week I am getting my 2.7 Hocchiku from Perry. Once I am gainfully emplyed I would like to also get one of those chinese jinashi long flutes from Ken, maybe a 2.9 or a 3. I am not sure. One step at a time.

Thanks for the kind words and support!
The Shakuhachi has been a breath of fresh air for me, something for the inner soul. I love the deep tones of the large shakuhachi and think I will be getting something bigger than the 2.4 soon!

I agree -- nice recording. It felt as if moving between the chill of mystery/curiosity and warmth of discovery/understanding.
