Pentatonic Oriental Style Side Blown Flute Improvisation

I tried some things on my new side blown bamboo fute in Asian style pentatonic tuning, made by marvellous "Erik the Flute Maker" - Erik Sampson from Florida. His flutes are great, my playing doesn't do them justice at all! Still I like this video! Acoustics good: staircase - video quality bad: little light in our staircase :)

Towards the end I try to bend some notes...

Thanks for removing the word shakuhachi. Now those of us who have been studying, performing, recording and teaching Shakuhachi for over 30 years, can rest easy...
