じ無 尺八
All of my flutes are jinashi and created for solo meditation and or beginners wanting a peak into the tradition. E-mail for prices.
琴古二尺一寸 (2.1 Kinko)： This 尺八 has a nice mellow tone, easy 甲 register transition. Red lacuered bore, clear coating on the outside for crack protection.

琴古 二尺二寸 (2.2 Kinko)： Plays in tune with itself. Has a nice meditative sound, plays easily. Goes into the 甲register nicely. It has a black lacquered bore(not urushi) and a clear coating on the outside for protection from cracking.
^
琴古 二尺三寸 (2.3)：Plays with a deep rustic voice, easy 甲 transition. Nice thick piece of bamboo with black lacquered bore (not urushi). This flute has three inlayed 4rin rattan bindings to help prevent cracking. Named 月の歌 (tsuki no uta) song of the moon. Writing not permanant as of yet.
^
法竹(hochiku)二尺四寸 (2.4)： This basic shakuhachi plays in tune with itself up through the second octave. This one would be especially good for solo meditation. I named this flute 松風(matsu kaze) wind through pine trees. The writing is not on there permanently yet.

琴古 二尺二寸 (2.2 Kinko)：This flutes plays at Bb and is intune with itself. Play easily up to the top of the 甲 register. This flute has an interesting tone, not sure what you'd call it.
琴古二尺二寸 (2.2Kinko)： This flute has a very wide bore. Nice 乙 register, 甲 tuning off because of bore size, but a nice experimental piece. Would sell for quite cheap if anyone likes it.
