Improvisation with this shakuhachi :
This shakuhachi is a wider bore ji-nashi with bigger holes.
Made from a bright spotted piece of madake bamboo, this ji-nashi has a good volume and easy meri notes (due to bigger holes) and a very good response. It’s sound is powerfull, warm and woody.
I made two different recordings to demonstrate its versatility in playing styles.
