Are there any traditional pieces that's not specifically zen?
I'm looking for traditional shakuhachi pieces that fall outside of the practise of budhism.
Is there any at all?

I'm not exactly sure what type of songs you are looking for, but most of the sankyoku ensemble pieces would fit that definition I guess, something like Kurokami (Aoki Reibo has a beautiful very stylized solo version) or Rokudan.
If you are talking about specific traditional solo pieces then you should look into the Tozan ryu honkyoku, especially Yamamoto Houzan's compositions.
There are also traditional sounding pieces like Ichijo...But in the end it is hard to separate what is Zen and what isn't.

Thank you!

Sure. Minyo, Japanese traditional folk songs, and Fukuda Rando pieces may fall in that category also.

Do you guys know where I might find the scores for Rokudan?
I love that piece!

Shakuhachi shop Mejiro in Tokyo should have the Kinko ryu notation for Rokudan used by the largest group of Kinko players, the Chikuyusha. Ask for the aoufu (green cover) notation.

Monty also carries the Chikuyusha Rokudan at http://www.shakuhachi.com

Chidori no Kyoku is another sankyoku piece that's nice. Great for working on timing and reading.
