[Unbreakable1978]

I heard that flute is so hard to play

[UnclePutte]

What a strange contrast, the church altar and the shakuhachi. Along with the music, the effect is completely surreal and dreamlike. It's brilliant!

[Hayonalicious]

:D aaah beautiful

[brilliantcorners]

Any one know what this piece is called? Who composed it?

[female115]

its really beautiful. This can really take you out from the real world and just let you imagine how you want that the world is.

[MelodyOfTheDamned]

@Unbreakable1978 oh you have no idea :S!!

[bamboosa]

I have played many, many instruments, some well, some badly, and I gotta say that shakuhachi very, very difficult. And, being that I could not afford one, I built 3. Took months and months. This guy is good.

@Unbreakable1978 It is easy if you want.

[jvermie]

Fabulous

@teabagfury it's a transliteration anyway; it's not like there's one correct way to write it

[VirDeiEtVirChristi]

@Unbreakable1978

it is! I've played so many flutes and the Shakuhachi is still very difficult to play right
