Some shots from a Tairaku layover in SF yesterday.

Onward jinashi warriors!

It's a disease.

Musgo da Pedra · 2009-04-27 11:19:59

I love that red Taimu! Nice looking... unfortunely, will be hard to me see it live, and of course, play it...

There is any sound file of that Ken?

A big hug...

From what I've been told, you don't need a sound file, Henrique. Just think 'GLOW', and you've got it!!!

[GREAT pics by the way!]

Yungflutes · 2009-04-27 12:18:01

Those are a couple of shady looking characters to me!

Nice looking Choukan Ken! Tairaku, is your big toe on a tone hole?

Thanks Henrique. I'll email you a file.

Perry, yeah, definitely hooligans. I hear you hosted Brian on the eastern leg of the tour!

Bas Nijenhuis · 2009-04-27 13:24:02

What is the size of the shakuhachi in pic 2: 4.4? heh, its huge!

dust · 2009-04-27 13:58:33

3.8

Kiku Day · 2009-04-27 14:43:40

Tairaku, one should think you had learned Watazumi's special foot technique...
Ken, we want sound files!
Wish I were in the city.....

ABRAXAS · 2009-04-27 16:55:28

Great Photos! Beautiful Taimu!

Is that a Swiss, Swede or Norwegian camo shirt?

airin · 2009-04-27 17:33:36

I'd love to hear that big fat taimu that Brian is holding with his tootsies. :-)

I'm beginning to think is a metal forum gone wrong!

I LOVE the Red and black stripes thats bad ass!

Tairaku 太楽 · 2009-04-27 23:07:18

That red Taimu was my favorite of the batch.

The 3.8 has not been drilled yet. We were working out the hole placement. It's too fat for me to play with hands only, I'll have to use the toe as well.

I missed my flight connection SFO-SYD so I was "forced" to stay at Ken's place and blow flutes.

enjoy mate!! I am planing my next trip to SF

Kiku,

I don't want to turn this into a "look what particular flutes I have thing" so here's an informal recording of checking flutes out. It's the usual output of high, low and in between.

Highlights

(Thanks to Alan for turning me on to the Olympus LS-10 recorder)

Jim,

That's a German camo. You can barely see the flag on the right shoulder. There is a funny story about that. Horst mailed that to me along with a note that read, "End of history." Not sure what to make of that. It's a nice jacket though and an honor so I wear it.

Geni,

You bring the goat, I supply the fire. Anytime mate.

Yes, still recuperating...from the organ concert !

Hi Ken. I may be in SF at the end of July. Will drop you a line to see if you are around.

I hope you don't get any crazy Irish ideas like mixing Guinness in with your Bombay Sapphire. Like at the festival when you tried to mix Guinness with some South Australian shiraz, that's NOT cool!
