hi every1,
i have recently purchased my first shakuhachi, being a 2.5, about a week ago.....i had 1st learned of what a shakuhachi was about 2wks ago from someone on myspace.com--a community of 'friends' online--by the name of Shakuhachi Jon. I had always admired the samurai of feudal japan, and also the flute as a portable, elegant, yet simple instrument. When i learned of the blend the shakuhachi provided, i knew that i had found the beginning of my a new, rare hobby.
lol, it is currently about 10pm and im sitting at the edge of my bed blowing into my shaku--i have actually succeeded at making somewhat shaku-like sounds at least 10-15x so far
i think my embouchure is either bad or i am just plainly blowing in at a wrong angle......i'm starting to realize where the ideal positioning is in order to create somewhat shaku sounds as i have heard from my research online
i am an open book willing to accept any advice, and answer almost any question
