Thank you! 🙏

Great song, isn't it? 🙏

This song is it possible with chakuashi..? 🙏🙏🙏❤️‍🔥

@@reikistef9615 Yes, sure. It's not too difficult, but there are some meri notes in it ... 🙂

@@MarkusGuhe where can I find the notations? please 🙏🙏🙏

@@MarkusGuhe It’s places with a 1.6 rather than a 2.4, isn’t it? 🙏🙏🙏

We're all electromagnetic fields in the end ... 😉

Hi, I'm glad to hear you're interested! The European Shakuhachi Society has a long list of shakuhachi makers, so I recommend to have a look there first: shakuhachisociety.eu/people/makers/ If you’re in Japan or it’s easy to ship from Japan, have a look a Mejiro, a shop in Tokyo that ships worldwide. mejiro-japan.com/ If you are in the USA, you should have a look at Monty Levenson’s website: www.shakuhachi.com/ Just send me an email if you have more questions.

@@MarkusGuhe thank you for the advice, I am in Belgium Btw

@MauroNijssen No worries. Just get in touch if you want to sort out something within Europe.

I couldn't agree more! 🙏

Thank you! 🙏 Great to hear you'll be at the dojo! I don't have a dedicated loop pedal but am just using the computer for that. The setup changes, so I don't think there's any particular recommendation I'm afraid.

Thanks! 🙏 Yes, I definitely learned a lot!

Thanks! 🙏

Thank you very much! 🙏

I'm glad you like it! 🙏 We only had this room available for the interview, unfortunately.

Thank you very much! 🙏

Thank you too! 🙏

ありがとうございました 🙏

Thank you! 🙏

Thank you for watching! 🙏

Thanks! 🙏 Yes, indeed, shakuhachi is deceptively 'simple'. 😉

Thanks for watching! 🙏

Thanks you very much for all your kind comments! 🙏

Hm, I don't really hear that. You're probably referring to the synthesized sounds, which I think sound much cleaner and are also produced with a very different instrument/technique. Interesting idea though! 👍

Such a great song, right? 😉

I'm glad if it's useful! 🙏 Meri: lowering of pitch; kari: raising pitch; otsu: lower (1st) octave; kari: higher (2nd) octave. There's a video on how to play kan somewhere here as well; maybe that's helpful?

@@MarkusGuhe Thank you for the reply! I've seen the Kan video but I will watch it again to better understand🙏

Thanks, I'm glad the video is helpful! 🙏 I think you make a very good point on the saturation question. It makes a lot of sense to see it more as noise. I guess I was thinking of saturation first, because it's still possible to identify the pitch (fundamental frequency) of the note. But it's true that the more you add muraiki, the more noisy it becomes and it get more difficult to make out the pitch. So probably it's again more a gradual effect, not an absolute ...

Thanks Damon, I'm glad to hear that! 🙏

My pleasure! Thanks for watching! 🙏

Just shake your head! 😆 Well, it's not really different from otsu, but maybe it's easier if you start practising with smaller movements first, because keeping notes stable in kan can be a bit more difficult. Also identify on one point on your chin on which the shakuhachi pivots. Then only move from the middle to one side, not both sides. As you can see it's a bit difficult to describe in words ...

@@MarkusGuhe I feel like I can do it pretty wel with Ro in Kan. It’s gets more difficult with the higher notes though. It’s also pretty easy on my 2.7. Nearly impossible on my 1.6 though. I just need to fine tune my movements I guess.

@@johnyentes6643 The higher the note you're producing on a shakuhachi, the smaller the opening of your mouth has to be. So, it's more difficult to play high notes on a shorter instrument than on a longer one, and it's also more difficult to play high kan notes compared to otsu. In other words, it requires more fine motor control, and that takes some time to develop. Add to that that your embouchure needs to be flexible enough that the changes in blowing angle (which are needed to produce kubi furi) don't make you lose the tone, and you have a bit of a challenge. 'Just' try not to tense up for high notes and practise and it'll get easier over time. ✌

Thank you! 🙏 I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I knew it! 😂 (And now you do too! 😉) I hope it's useful!

Thank you! 🙂

I'm not sure if you can order it there, but you can get it from Mejiro in Tokyo: www.mejiro-japan.com/en/product/yuu-plastic-flute-18-listen-japanese-shakuhachi-flute

Thank you for watching! 🙏

Indeed; a very popular min’yo! 🙂

Thank you! 🙏

Thank you! 🙏

@@MarkusGuhe How long have you been playing shinobue?

@@havingfunwithshinobue-om7xn Oh, more than 10 years, but it's not my main instrument. 🙂

Danke! 🙏 Schön zu hören, dass die Videos nützlich sind und du auch spielst!

Great; I'm glad this inspired you for your own music making! 🙏

Thank you so much! 🙏

Thank you very much! 🙏 Usually, I do play from memory, but here I think here I was reading from the notation. (A little help when filming ... 😉)

Thanks I’m glad you found the video interesting! 🙏

Thank you! 🙏 I’m glad you appreciate the humour! 🙂

Thank you! 🙏 In my unbiased opinion I think that would be time well spent! 😂

Thank you for your kind words! 🙏 I very much enjoy talking to Riley! 🙂 Part 2 is coming soon!

Thanks, I’m glad you like it. 🙏 Even better if I got you hooked (maybe 😉).

Thanks; I’m glad you like the videos! 🙏

Thanks for watching! 🙏

Thank you for watching; I'm glad you like it! 🙏

Thanks Bill; I'm glad you liked it! 🙏

Shakuhachi notation is confusing, but it works well, once you get the hand of it! 🙂

Thank you! 🙏 The T-shirt is from a shakuhachi event; it’s not available to buy any more.

@@MarkusGuhe Danke!
