Here is a brief description of some of the unique bamboo flutes I make, and which YOU can adopt! These are 5-hole Shakuhachis, or Zen Meditation Flutes, in the minor pentatonic scale. These come in different keys and sizes. Sometimes I also make these in the more exotic tunings.

Note that I make "hybrids" which don't have the traditional "blade" style of Shakuhachi mouthpiece, but rather the South American "Quena" style of notch mouthpiece. I find this typ is very easy to play.

Prices vary for each piece, depending on bamboo specimen rarity, finish, size, and playability. Basic beginner flutes can be $20 - $30 while large Bass Flutes can be $80 - $100 - $120 up to $150 for really nice ones -- all very affordable!

My other models include Bass Meditation Flutes, Raga Flutes (tuned to East Indian "Ragas" or modal scales), Panpipes, and Bamboo Birdcalls of all sorts. I also make some "regular" 6-hole diatonic flutes (Do-Re-Mi), but specialize in the extremes of bass flutes and killer piccolos, and every size in between.

P.S. I also have many CDs available, and you can hear some at www.MySpace.com/dassmusic

Have fun! Hope to hear from ya!
