Edible shakuhachi?!!
I just came across this on Youtube http://youtube.com/watch?v=vHV5ukFL0NU.
Is this possible with shakuhachi?

Just looking at related videos I came across this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpfYt7vR … re=related. There is someone playing an instrument like a shakuhachi but it may be more lip buzz than blowing.

I don't see why a jinashi flute couldn't be coarsely ground, soaked, marinated, and then maybe steamed into an edible form.
But edible is relative. Chikuwa and shakuhachi are more edible instruments than saxophones and DX7s.

Re: Edible shakuhachi?!!
I saw a concert put on by a Japanese fellow who turned a chikuwa, a carrot, and a daikon into shakuhachi shaped instruments, played some Brahams on them and then ate them. He didn't just gobble them down though. He demonstrated how shortening the length would raise the pitch. This guy could also play two nose flutes (one from each nostril) simultaneously in harmony. Mind boggling!

I've seen (smelled) a poorly maintained DX7. Granted, it didn't smell good enough to eat, but it did have the subtle olfactory tones of an old Nintendo crossed with a plate of cabbage rolls.
I'm still trying to decide if this person is a genius or simply wasting food.

Vevolis,
I think it's a generally recognized truth that we should stay away from synthetic foods...especially DX7s. Just too fat. And I suspect that the cabbage roll smell is just the residual funk footprint of the beast. Don't be fooled!

Agreed about synth foods. But a DX-7 fat? Feh. Maybe when slathered with finger grease. Now a Sequential Circuits Prophet 10... that's fat all on its own.
