Large-Hole Shakuhachi

Large- and Small-Hole Shakuhachi compared.

Large-Hole Shakuhachi Made from Madaké or Japanese Torachiku (Tiger Bamboo) Available in Professional Root-End and Student models.   LARGE-HOLE SHAKUHACHI [TH-N] [TH-N] are based on an innovation created by the talented performer, composer and flutemaker, John Kaizan Neptune. After years of studying the acoustical physics of the shakuhachi bore, Neptune lowered and enlarged the holes on his instruments. This resulted in a uniformly "bigger" sound for all the notes played. These precision cast bore flutes are made in the classical size - 1.8' I Shaku Ha Sun (Key of D) - and are based on measurements taken from Neptune's finest shakuhachi.
