A quality bamboo flute
The shakuhachi in the name is somewhat of a misnomer, as this is a southern-chinese style xiao flute. The mouthpiece does not allow for the same kind of note bending as a shakuhachi mouthpiece would. My flute also featured traditional chinese poetry on the headpiece, as is the custom for xiao flutes.
However, the flute is relatively well-crafted, and has a pleasant, breathy sound. It isn't shrill, and the mids are very pleasant to the ear. The tuning seems a little flat compared to standard pitch, but this can still be attributed to my embauchure being work in progress. The two-piece manufacturing makes the flute to be able to be fine-tuned down, maybe a little under a half-tone.
I noticed the inside of the mouthpiece had some dark spots, but instead of mold I think they are just impurities of the bamboo. Overall, the flute is very pleasant, and the bamboo feels good and sturdy.

Compré esta flauta a un precio razonable para la calidad que tiene, puede ser algo elevado. Los materiales tienen una relación calidad precio muy buena. El sonido en esta flauta japonesa es muy difícil de conseguir, lo que me esta llevando su tiempo. Viene en un practico estuche para transportar. Su compra merece la pena solamente si estas decidido por aprender. El color y acabados son muy bonitos. Estoy muy contento con esta compra.
