The Shakuhachi is a traditional Japanese end-blown flute that is finding ever-increasing favor with all types of musicians. This deceptively simple looking bamboo tube is capable of a beautiful variety of tone colors and has a wonderfully haunting and meditative sound. The name "shakuhachi" literally means 1.8 feet which is the length of the classical flute. The origin of the shakuhachi has been traced back as far as ancient Egypt, and is presumed to have migrated through India and China before entering Japan in the 6th C. $125.00
