18-6 Do Re Mi **42/ PVC Pipe Shakuhachi: 1 Shaku 8 Sun "6-Hole Do Re Mi Scale" (Beginner Friendly)

・ To meet the demand for playing the rich tones of the shakuhachi with easy recorder-like Do-Re-Mi fingerings, we have created a 6-hole Do-Re-Mi Shakuhachi with a Do-Re-Mi fingering hole arrangement.

・ The arrangement has been ingeniously designed, for example, by varying the size of the finger holes, so that the right ring finger covers between hole 1 and 2, and the left middle finger covers between hole 4 and 5. (Fingering chart image included)

・ New
・ Standard frequency A=440Hz, tuning pipe (equal temperament pipe)
・ Made with high-quality HT pipe (brown) which excels in heat resistance, pressure resistance, etc., is durable, and has a moderate weight and mouthpiece diameter.
・ Not only waterproof, but also free from worries of cracking due to drying, making it suitable for leaving in a car or everyday use.
・ Performance comparable to bamboo shakuhachi.
