“Gakusei” student shakuhachi 1.8 in D – Kurochiku
Excellent student shakuhachi from French black bamboo – kurochiku – the thickness enables a bore with characteristics close to a ji-ari bore giving a good air compression and therefore a very nice sound dynamic.
This Gakusei shakuhachi has a great precision in embouchure control, a good response and a rich tone colour.
The foot has natural grooves on the first 2 internode; one of them with a surface crack secured with bindings.
