Ned Rothenberg Shakuhachi Solo

[MountAnalogue]

I seriously want a honkyoku played at my funeral procession. Shakuhachi creates the most beautiful music ever.

[seerskater]

that was so tight!

where can i find a long shakuhachi like the one in kill bill

[bamboosa]

I spent years trying to build and play a decent shakuhachi because I could not afford one, much less enough food to transcend malnutrition whilst all my teeth rotted out. I am a terrible shakuhachi player. I battle monsters everyday and night in the Hollywood ghetto, sometimes I take a walk around Yamashiro restaurant in the hills playing terrible shakuhachi. Count your blessings. You're pretty good.

[brambau]

beautifully played

excellent tone

charmless

This was great; thanks for posting it. I was able to get a copy of your Leo CD "Amulet" with Sainkho Namtchylak recently after reading about it in your article in one of Zorn's Arcana books. Amulet is an amazing recording that I really enjoy and treasure. Leo should re-release "Amulet", because it is now out-of-print,; although, I look forward to the day when my Leo CD has sold out.

I like the shakuhachi, it has such a mysterious sound unlike any other instrument I've heard.

[FXIX]

This instrument designed to be natural :)

Ned Rothenberg is equally at home no matter what instrument he decides to express himself through. This is such a beautiful and mystical piece. If you like this, I recommend checking out his CD called Ghost Stories. Very cool.

@eelRolyat

As a flute player and fanatic it kills me when i can't see a player's fingers! XD

[eelRolyat]

I wish i could hear him in person. Live! This is amazing. 5 stars.

[sugarsugarrunelover]

[Corolalumii]

Soul in sound indeed...

[jambon57]

Wow, thanks. I've never actually heard anything quite like that before. Wonderful!

[nomofica1]

I love the Shakuhachi.

Actually, I love just about any traditional flute, whether it's oriental or Indian, or First Nations.

One more question:

Is it possible to play more tones of the third oktave?

I mean more than the first one?

[nedroom]

Shakuhachi only plays in the first 5th of the 3rd octave. Range is 2.5 octaves.

[karacho1]

What kind of Shakuhachi is it?

[nedroom]

Its a 2.4 made by Kinya Sogawa

[karacho1]

Thats really good!
