Hi Guys,
Yesterday I meet and play some music with Elizabeth Reian Bennett.
She is a great player.

And she had this amazing flute. I played a little bit with that and I love it.
The difference between my flute and hers was 100%...it was a very expensive flute.it had 3 stamps.
It was the best shakuhachi I ever played.

Any similiar experience?

It sounds like you missed the really humbling part of the experience. This comes when you hand the flute that gives you so much trouble to the master, and it sounds like the finest instrument in the world.

Well, If I had to vote, without actually playing it, I think the most amazing experience on blowing a flute has to be the pilot's flute Tairaku got somewehre in Sri Lanka

What a superb experience that must be!! I think if something like that happened to me I would order some T-shirts saying "I'm the lucky bastard who found a pre-WWII-shakuhachi left by an imprisioned Japanese pilot in a Sri Lanka jungle" (although luck can be an arguable motive for this encounter..., fate? unconscious intuition?...)
