Impressions from my first shakuhachi.
This picture was created at a gratitude to the maker of the flute.
Very sweet picture. Do you know who made the shakuhachi?

Yes, i know. :) I bought the flute directly from him.
He is local moscow flute maker Andrew Nazin (here his Bambooway_ru blog).

Thanks, it's inspiring to see so much artistic talent from the shakuhachi players.

Cool site. He makes some very interesting looking flutes. (I can't read anything, so I'm just looking at the pretty pictures.) Like this very deep blowing edge that looks like it's the result of wind tunnel testing... http://www.ljplus.ru/img3/n/e/nektoinoy/kaluka1.jpg Not shakuhachi, obviously, but interesting design.

Looks like a Queña hybridized with a shakuhachi.

And then what do you have?

Re: First impression
I don't see the hybridization there. It looks like a quena. I have a large quena that they called a quenacho when I bought it, it looks similar.

It is the russian overtone flute kalyuka with experimental blowing edge. Usually kalyuka has more like quena style blowing edge. And there is NO finger holes at all. %)

Now, THAT is what I call a zen flute! Except it should be made of iron.
