Here is a very well crafted ji-ari shakuhachi from a renown Japanese Maker Shinsui Matsushita 松下深水 active in Ueda-ryu during XXth c. I have already restored several of his instruments.
This shakuhachi has a nice felted tone-color, a good response and volume and is very stable on Otsu no Ro.
A good vintage shakuhachi flute for a reasonable price.
