TENSEI Line Restored Japanese Shakuhachi
1.8 Length standard instrument (21" 54.5cm)
21mm standard top interior diameter.
Slim, lighter flute perfect for players with smaller hands, or those who can not hold heftier, heavy and thick flutes.
This recently restored flute from my Tensei is my line was made by SHIN SUI - Clear Water around the 1980's. I collected this one in 2003 in Japan when I was on my Japan United States Friendship Commission grant to study shakuhachi making. In Japanese, Tensei translates to "rebirth of music". I am proud and humbled to be able to offer these flutes a second life in my low-impact approach to repairs. This is a visually beautiful flute with a warm, sweet vibratory voice in the lower octave and snappy chirp in the second. It can handle all the traditional fingerings of shakuhachi music. It is relatively easy and friendly as far as shakuhachi goes and a perfect instrument for as beginner or professional musician. The worn finger markings on the bamboo are tell tale signs that this was a well-played flute. It would normally sell for 00 from me but around 00 on the marketplace for new instruments. The top #4 finger hole is slightly off set to the right so the finger holes are not in a perfect straight line. I doubt anyone would know this if I didn't point it out as it feels perfectly fine on the hands. As a result, it is offered at a great price now.

This flute come with a generous audition period with a lifetime guarantee. In 2002 I received the Japan United States Friendship Commission to study shakuhachi making and playing in Japan under Kinya Sogawa, who apprenticed with Chikusen Tamai, who also trained many of the top professional shakuhachi makers in Japan today. I understand how difficult it is to find the right instrument. You can also google my name and yungflutes for videos, blog and much more information. I would be happy to send a video demo of this flute. Because I am a repair person, I can offer fine restored shakuhachi flutes well below the market price. I've been making and selling shakuhachi for over 25 years, the first to sell wehn ebay came around. I know how difficult it is to find the right flute.
