Chikudo Ji-nashi shakuhachi 1.6 in E – grade *** – Japanese Madake
I made this great ji-nashi from a piece of Japanese Madake brought back from Kyushu last autumn. The bamboo is thick and dense with good proportions; it has a natural big bore with perfect design which is rare to find.
This ji-nashi is very flexible, has a lot of power, fine bright tone and plays easily any kind of repertoire. The most comfortable playing gives a pitch at A 435Hz.
