The Madake bamboo from the last 2024 harvest I used to make this ji-nashi shakuhachi was dry in the grove with spotted mold and dark patterns.
This shakuhachi shape is slightly ovoid and bent to the right by the foot.
It has a big bore and rather big holes giving a good volume and depth. Quite easy to play with the ergonomic hole placement.
Warm and mellow tone color.
