And making a precios instrument kills all the magic, just like a plastic flute for me. But I don't want say that precious method is bad, it is very good for good balanced and very well tuned instruments.
Hi,
I think many players are able to unleash this magic even on very fine instruments, myself included .)
However, I agree that sometimes(!) it is more interesting if tuning is little wobbly.
two cents,

Yes, magic is everywhere, it's just have to be seen. I just tried to say about flutemaking conseption that is closer to me and my understanding at the moment.

Interesting thread here. Lots of good information.
Part of the freedom of shakuhachi making is that a maker has a choice of how to approach it. We can decide to look at it in much the same way as waking up and experiencing each new day; different weather conditions, different set of problems and challenges, making due with what is given. Or, we can decide to exert more control from the beginning and focus on a desired conclusion. Often, it seems to be a combination of these approaches.
I think the important thing is not the particular direction itself that a maker takes, but rather each makers ability to tune into exactly what moves him or her. Assuming you have a strong foundation, knowing yourself as you work produces the best shakuhachi regardless of approach. Your audience will find you. Dream, looks like you are well on your way!

Yes, Ken is quite the artist.
I always use to say that making shakuhachi is like making art. What I really should say is that making shakuhachi IS making art.
Have a great New Year all! Perry
