? PRODUCT NAME: Shakuhachi 9-Hole Bamboo Flute – Xiao Mouthpiece | Northern Bamboo Instrument – Premium Handmade Gift for Musicians ? Product Overview: Elevate your musical journey with this 9-hole Shakuhachi Xiao Flute, meticulously handcrafted from premium Northern Vietnamese bamboo. Designed for both seasoned performers and passionate learners, this flute not only offers rich, resonant tones but also carries the soul of traditional Vietnamese craftsmanship. ? Available Keys Approximate Lengths: Key C: 63cm ? Craftsmanship Materials: This is a very rare and hard-to-find type of bamboo. Selecting a single stalk that meets the high standards for crafting a shakuhachi—with mature, well-aged material—is an incredibly difficult process. What makes this flute truly exceptional is the absence of the Sound-determining hole, which is extremely rare. Out of a hundred bamboo stalks, only a few are suitable for making a shakuhachi without this feature. This design not only enhances the flute’s seamless appearance and visual harmony but also contributes to its unique character. The sound it produces is exceptionally beautiful, rich, and deeply captivating. Mouthpiece joints are expertly inlaid with authentic b.u.f.f.a.l.o h.o.r.n, enhancing durability, elegance, and tone quality. Innovative joint design allows for easy disassembly, making transportation safe and convenient. Why Upgrade the Shakuhachi to a Two-Piece Design? Upgrading the shakuhachi to a two-piece construction allows for precise pitch adjustment, which is especially useful when playing in ensembles or adapting to changing weather conditions. In colder weather, the joint can be pushed in to raise the pitch; in warmer conditions, it can be slightly extended to lower the pitch. This flexible tuning mechanism makes it easier to stay in tune with other instruments. The addition of a joint is a highly practical innovation, offering both convenience and improved performance for musicians. ?
