Shakuhachi Crazy!!

I think I've gone a bit (more) mental.  Y'see, I've got this problem...  I'm addicted to musical instruments; I always have been.  Anyway, I recently decided to buy another Shakuhachi, which is a type of end-blown Japanese bamboo flute (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shakuhachi), from a NY-based maker, Perry Yung.  I say "another" as I already own an "Earth" model flute by him, so I know my next one will be lovely too!

The wait was just too much for me, so I decided to make my own while I waited.  It cost me a grand.... (lol, just kidding)... total of £2.99 (and I could make at least 3 more the same for that price), and only took just over an hour and a half to get the stuff (some pipe and a joint) and make it!  Pretty good, eh?

I'll probably get round to blogging all of the instruments I've made/own eventually, but I can't be bothered just yet so it's just this one today.  I call it my "Crapucrapshi".  Hehe.  It's actually not all that bad...  have a listen.  BTW...  I simply couldn't be bothered to spend all day recording something nice and adding reverb etc, so I just plugged in a camera-mic and played some rubbish, so don't expect anything lovely... lol.  Enjoy...
