If bamboo is considered to be the soul of the shakuhachi, the bore of the instrument is clearly its heart. Subtle variations in bore diameter -- a few hundredths of a millimeter -- anywhere along the length of the flute often produces dramatic differences in resonance, intonation and timbre. Bore design far outweighs any other factor in determining the subtle qualities of sound which characterize each individual instrument.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike traditional methods of fabrication, the precision casting technique allows for exact reproduction of bore profiles in every instrument made. After casting, each flute is evaluated and adjusted to produce an optimum balance in all of the notes played. This fine tuning process is a delicate art; one that is very critical in compensating for the fact that no two pieces of bamboo (hence no two shakuhachi) are exactly alike. Fine tuning the bore coupled with precision casting accounts for the superior tonal quality, responsiveness and accuracy of tuning characteristic of Tai Hei Shakuhachi. These instruments are played and recommended by some of the world's most respected teachers and musicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBore designs used in Tai Hei Shakuhachi are derived from an analysis of some of the finest historical and modern instruments available in Japan. Interiors of all the flutes are cast to a mirror finish with a specially formulated blend of epoxy resins. Precision cast bores are highly compatible with bamboo. They are durable, very stable and provide a dense resonating surface that will neither shrink nor separate from the bamboo. The epoxy bore exhibits a superior bonding property which minimizes swelling of the bamboo and cracking due to changes in climactic conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lark in the Morning","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40255267373230,"sku":"SHK022","price":1020.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1814\/0429\/products\/SHK022.jpg?v=1775682890"},{"product_id":"dvd187","title":"Bruce Huebner, KINKO SHAKUHACHI FOR BEGINNER Vol 1DVD","description":"Includes performance and notation examples with exercises and pointers on tone production, the traditional notation system, and basic Kinko ornamentation.\n\u003cp\u003eHere is the first of a long-awaited series of video playing guides for shakuhachi in English.

Originally published in 2013, this revised edition has been greatly expanded, updated, and edited by Monty Levenson in the new 2019 interactive edition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBob's comprehensive work is far more than a personal narrative. It is a thoroughly-researched treatise providing a complete overview of shakuhachi in its relationship to Japanese culture and foundation in Zen Buddhism. The initial part starts out with a description of the craft of the shakuhachi, exploring every aspect of how the instrument is traditionally made by craftsmen in Japan. Each step in the process is carefully documented. Selection and harvesting of madaké bamboo in the grove is followed by information detailing all aspects of the traditional craft.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2 explores the Japanese sense of sound, describing the unique acoustical sensibilities deeply embedded in Japanese culture, language and physiology. Bob explains how the shakuhachi's tonal variability and association with nature embodies nuanced ways of perceiving the world, making is a perfect vehicle for spiritual practice and aesthetic expression.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA review of the historical evolution of the instrument and its traditional music is followed with a detailed analysis of shakuhachi honkyoku from both a Western analytical and Japanese perspectives on music theory. The piece Hi Fu Mi Cho is analyzed phrase-by-phrase in order to shed light on the structure and tonal phrasing of honkyoku music. Other more contemporary forms of Japanese music such as Gaikyoku, Juita and Shinkyoku or New Music are also covered in this chapter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe final chapter presents an exhaustive discussion of the religious foundations of shakuhachi and honkyoku music and their association with Zen Buddhism in the hands of Komuso priests of the Fuke tradition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncluded in the book are beautiful and inspiring Zen- and shakuhachi-themed Japanese sumi-e ink brush paintings by two renowned artists—Clifton Karhu and Taniguchi Ryudo Yoshinobu—published for the very first time in this edition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe final section, Stalking the Wild Bore, Monty Levenson expands and broadens his analysis of the acoustical physics of the shakuhachi—an effort to unravel the mystery of how breath is transformed into its remarkably resonant and nuanced sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Sound of Bamboo is something entirely new and different in how information is transmitted, imparted, and otherwise conveyed. Embedded in pages of the book is a fourth section composed of hyperlinks that open a portal to the wide and wonderful world of shakuhachi. Access to this deep repository of information is provided directly from the book via interactive web links, audio music files, and multimedia video content. The links introduce you to many of the foremost shakuhachi players and master teachers in Japan and around the world, sharing with readers their invaluable, diverse, and unique perspectives, and gracing you with performances of their deeply moving music. Unlike any other printed book, content and enhancements are continually being added, so The Sound of Bamboo will never become outdated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe edition is made possible by the encouragement extended by Ricoh USA, Inc. and Ricoh Company Ltd. of Japan with support by the Graphic Communication Institute at Cal Poly State University in San Luis Obispo, California.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRicoh’s collaboration with Tai Hei Shakuhachi on the project showcases their innovative interactive Clickable Paper technology—a new way of learning and communicating via print—that essentially turns a printed book into the equivalent of a web browser with video and sound. The Sound of Bamboo is one of only two books in the world written and published using this innovative new technology. It also testifies to Ricoh’s commitment and dedication to expand awareness of traditional Japanese culture worldwide, thereby helping to perpetuate its rich and venerable heritage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe free Clickable Paper app maximizes the reader's experience in learning and better understanding concepts and processes by making print come alive and enhanced via multimedia content. It is based on the concept that people learn and understand in different ways. Some learn best by reading, some by videos, some by hearing, and some by a combination of these venues. Clickable Paper provides all of these experiences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Sound of Bamboo demonstrates Ricoh's Clickable Paper as an Augmented Reality (AR) application that brings to life a “Japanese experience” through music, culture, learning, and training via web pages, videos, and sound. A printed book or other form of print media can now be embedded with multiple hotspots linked to one or multiple sources, instantly taking readers from two-dimensional printed content to online, multi-channel content. iOS and Android mobile apps are free to download and easy to use. One tap on a smart phone aimed at an embedded page opens the reader to the World Wide Web via hyperlinks put in place by the author.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe beauty of this new interactive technology goes beyond broadening the informational parameters of a printed book. It also allows an edition to be expanded and enhanced past the date of its initial publication. Like any online website, linked content can and will be updated or otherwise modified well into the future, keeping a book relevant and up to date. And finally, it encourages interaction amongst readers, authors, and others by opening channels of communication within a community of interest.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEncyclopedic in scope, The Sound of Bamboo includes over 100 photos, illustrations, and artwork as well as 400 hyperlinks connecting the reader from the printed page directly to the world of shakuhachi via the Internet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e173 pages PG-24\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lark in the Morning","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40258602565806,"sku":"BOK706","price":42.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1814\/0429\/products\/Sound_of_Bamboo.jpg?v=1739306529"},{"product_id":"hummingbird-pentatonic-lyre-harp-7-string","title":"Hummingbird Pentatonic Lyre Harp, 7-String","description":"\u003cp\u003e Made in Belarus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePeaceful.
