Mujitsu and Tairaku's Shakuhachi BBQ

Hello dear shakuhachipeople,

One day in 2006 I heard such a delicious, beautifull sound, that I got really enchanted. I really wanted to know what I'd heard and after a while foud out the instrument was called shakuhachi. I googled it up, found myself a teacher, who gave me a flute and instructions on how to get a sound. Along with the sound also dizzyness largely presented itself, so I started playing laying on my back. Now, after 1 and a 1/2 year I can play also upright and I never stopped enjoying every minute of producing those lovely sounds. And I'm still learning and improving! Now, maybe the time has come to step outside and meet others. So again I say hello to you all, I hope to learn a lot from all your experiences en knowledge.

Hello Tairaku, I'm located in Holland, and I'm having Kees Kort as my teacher, but thanks for wanting to help my ahead. Grz, Dun Romin

Kees is a great guy, you're in good hands. Enjoy your shakuhachi journey. Europe is becoming a good place for bamboo. You might want to join ESS (European Shakuhachi Society) they're a worthwhile organization.

I played on my back last week. I had been sitting with incense in front of me and decided to lay down for some reason. As I laid there blowing, I had a rock star moment; the smoke from the incense drifted and hovered above me so it felt like I was in a cloud of dry ice. And with the light coming in the window hitting the streaming smoke just right, it crossed my mind that this would make a great Honkyoku video....I want my ZEN TV!

Now, after 1 and a 1/2 year I can play also upright and I never stopped enjoying every minute of producing those lovely sounds. And I'm still learning and improving!

I'm still learning every moment. And I often learn from beginners so I look forward to reading about your discoveries!
Namaste, Perry

I'm still strugling to reply you all decently. But :-) I'm prone not being very compatible with comp-logic. Report and post reply told me there was something wrong with the BBCode? Or was it BBL? Whatever, maybe this way will succeed, so I can thank you all for your kind reactions. Are shakuhachi-people allways so nice to each other? It's very interesting to read those discussion going on. It also tells me there is still a lot I can learn.
