molado18 PVC Shak specs

for argotrante

The specs for Molado's 1.8 PVC Shakuhachi

Numbers to remember: 12, 54, 10 and 3.36
L = Shak Length
d = 1st hole distance from bottom

12 x L / 54 = d
L / 10 = 2nd to 4th hole
d /3.36 = 4th to 5th hole (back)

i've found more info on making shakuhachi below.

Not sure if you still monitor or not, I noticed that your third hole is smaller than the others. Can you list what diameter holes you used for each? I followed another tutorial and all holes where drilled half inch (1.3cm) in size including the back (5th) hole. I also noticed your cut at the mouth piece is much shallower, is that 45 or 30 degrees or did you just start sanding it and stopped where tone was more sensitive? Ive noticed some cuts dont take much to generate tone.

Wow!

Thanks for posting this, I made some and they sounded great!

[narutosaenz]

do you think i can make this with a 1/2 pvc pipe or will the sound be to high?

Thanks for the posting I've made two Shaks after seeing it. Can you tell me if it is easier to create a tone with a 45 degree utaguchi as compared to a 30 degree? Thanks!!

No way, I'm going to hardware store tomorow, buying pcv and making shakuhachi. I'm tired of pointless trials with cracking bamboos.

Besides PCV's waterproof ^^
