Hey everyone....
This question if for anybody that has seen/owned the enhanced Yuu that's done by Monty.
If you look into the bore.....what/where are these "enhancements" are they to re-tune certain notes?
and.... Do you feel that they are justified.
I've got a Yuu and I'd love to know just HOW much of an upgrade i'd be getting.
Thanks a million.

Have you thought of asking Monty? He'd be the best qualified to answer this question.

I played one those Yuu. Monty fixes the intonations problems they may have. The one I played sound it great.

I've wondered that too, done by removing and adding (gluing?) into the bore?? I still don't have an 'expensive' bamboo Shakuhachi, (I think my root end was $160 or so), so I can't compare the Yuu to anything of high quality and precise tuning, and I'm only a beginner, but I continue to LOVE my Yuu (regular model) and it can do SO much more than my inexpensive bamboo (which cost more than the Yuu).
If I could afford one right now I'd probably get the enhanced Yuu, although as a beginner I don't know that I'd be able to appreciate how much better it is.
