Enhanced Yuu question...
Hey everyone....
This question if for anybody that has seen/owned the enhanced Yuu that's done by Monty.
If you look into the bore.....what/where are these "enhancements" are they to re-tune certain notes?
and.... Do you feel that they are justified.
I've got a Yuu and I'd love to know just HOW much of an upgrade i'd be getting.
Thanks a million.
It's better to keep your mouth closed and let people "think" that you're stupid, than to open it, and remove all doubt.

Have you thought of asking Monty? He'd be the best qualified to answer this question.

Re: Enhanced Yuu question...
I've wondered that too, done by removing and adding (gluing?) into the bore?? I still don't have an 'expensive' bamboo Shakuhachi, (I think my root end was $160 or so), so I can't compare the Yuu to anything of high quality and precise tuning, and I'm only a beginner, but I continue to LOVE my Yuu (regular model) and it can do SO much more than my inexpensive bamboo (which cost more than the Yuu).
If I could afford one right now I'd probably get the enhanced Yuu, although as a beginner I don't know that I'd be able to appreciate how much better it is.
