It seems to me that even the greater powers to be use shaku: Jet was born at 54.5cm in length!

Namaste, Perry

Wow! I might want to try to make a baby just to see if also I can hit 'a 1.8 baby' !
Incredible! Either the parent is a real shakuhachi nerd or little Jet will become one... (or both). smile
Very cool indeed.

Re: longer flutes - tell me more

Hi all,

Yeah, when the nurse was weighing and measuring, I couldn't believe my ears when she said, "Twenty one and a half inches". I knew that no one would believe me so I took the pic. Kiku, I think if you tried this, you' would get a 2.9 baby! wink

No doubt that I am a shakuhachi nerd but maybe this photo will provide some insight to Jet's predicament two and a half years later.

Even the piper's grip didn't help him here on this 3.0. He also has a .9 he calls his own.

Peace, Perry
