Some shots from a Tairaku layover in SF yesterday.
Onward jinashi warriors!
It's a disease.

I love that red Taimu! Nice looking... unfortunely, will be hard to me see it live, and of course, play it...
There is any sound file of that Ken?
A big hug...

From what I've been told, you don't need a sound file, Henrique. Just think 'GLOW', and you've got it!!!
[GREAT pics by the way!]

Those are a couple of shady looking characters to me!
Nice looking Choukan Ken! Tairaku, is your big toe on a tone hole?

Tairaku, one should think you had learned Watazumi's special foot technique...

Great Photos! Beautiful Taimu!
Is that a Swiss, Swede or Norwegian camo shirt?

I'd love to hear that big fat taimu that Brian is holding with his tootsies. :-)

That red Taimu was my favorite of the batch.
The 3.8 has not been drilled yet. We were working out the hole placement. It's too fat for me to play with hands only, I'll have to use the toe as well.
I missed my flight connection SFO-SYD so I was "forced" to stay at Ken's place and blow flutes.

Kiku,
I don't want to turn this into a "look what particular flutes I have thing" so here's an informal recording of checking flutes out. It's the usual output of high, low and in between.
Highlights
(Thanks to Alan for turning me on to the Olympus LS-10 recorder)

Jim,
That's a German camo. You can barely see the flag on the right shoulder. There is a funny story about that. Horst mailed that to me along with a note that read, "End of history." Not sure what to make of that. It's a nice jacket though and an honor so I wear it.

I hope you don't get any crazy Irish ideas like mixing Guinness in with your Bombay Sapphire. Like at the festival when you tried to mix Guinness with some South Australian shiraz, that's NOT cool!
