Making Irish flute to sound like Shakuhachi

My attempt at making the Irish flute sound like a Shakuhachi, an end blown Japanese flute by changing the vibrato style. The shakuhachi is used in quite a few soundtracks, including Braveheart, which I am playing here

Haha- I'm breathing like every couple notes in this video. Wow. I've improved a lot since here. I think I need to make a new video asap :)

You're very pretty:) I forgot about the sound.

[Chantellyssa]

@cyberhmoob Awe :) Thank you!

[AzathothianBrew]

Very good, if only it was a little longer!

[Chantellyssa]

@AzathothianBrew Very good point :) And I think now I'd be able to do it with all my breathing improvement since here! I laughed so much when I just watched this again- "Breath, play play, breath, play play" lol...

I spelled it shakuhachi, not sakuhachi :)

[Chantellyssa]

Oh ok! Good to know. I guess I am a little confused though as I have heard musicians not pronounce the "h"? Anyway, I'll pronounce it the way it's spelled from now on!

There needs to be a japanese/celtic fusion bad out there. Irish pipes and drums with Japanese shakuhachi and taiko drums... marriage made in heaven.
