Thank you for viewing. This is a bamboo shakuhachi, 1.8 shaku (D key). Length: 54.5 cm Weight: 350 grams Mouthpiece: Gold wrapped Mark: Seika Yon-in Both the lower and higher registers produce very good sound. ⚫︎ Originally, this was an instrument of a shakuhachi enthusiast from the Showa era. I believe it is a very good one. ⚫︎ The crack was repaired during the Showa era, but it has been completely restored and is in good condition now. (Photos 6 and 7) ⚫︎ During the crack repair, the silver ring on the upper tube stopped at a slightly rotated position, but it does not affect the use at all. ⚫︎ In the Reiwa era, the mouthpiece was remade in the oldest shakuhachi workshop based on modern knowledge. This allows for easy and powerful sound suitable for modern instruments, but the finger holes and inner diameter have not been changed, so it still produces the good sound of a Showa era instrument. (Photos 1 to 5) ⚫︎ The mouthpiece is in good condition without any chips. ⚫︎ The lacquer is in good condition, and there is no looseness in the joint. The upper and lower tubes will be detached and carefully packed for delivery.
