    1.8 Shakuhachi made by Kono Gyoksui. 21.5 inches long(55cm). Weight 412g. (14.5 oz)
    Madake bamboo. Rattan covered tight fitting steel joint. Kinko style utaguchi (buffalo horn)inset blowing edge with decorative silver edge. Jiari (traditional plaster) buildup inside with very smooth urushi (Japanese laquer).
    Seven nodes & five holes (classic). Surface crack at hole #4 does not affect playability. One hanko (stamp). Intricate natural bamboo markings are typical of Gyoksui flutes.
    This example by one of Japan’s most renowned makers has the characteristic tone expected from his work. Excellent playability and intonation. Sound is clean and full and excels at quick passage work.
    Gyoksui prefers to use a slightly denser (heavier) bamboo which affords great dynamic range as well as subtlety. Because this flute was well cared for it was never reworked and retains its original sound character.
