SCALES
I'm refraining from asking to much until Blasdel's Shakuhachi Manual arrives and I've read it, but is there a good website that gives a cross-selection and breakdown of different traditional and western scales for shakuhachi?

Don't know of one. Meantime, this may be of use:

Re: SCALES
The book arrived shortly after I posted this, it is answering most of my questions.
Kudos to Mr. Blasdel and Monty Levinson.
