Having problems with message search?
Hi Kiku,
I bought the flutes from Perry Yung, but I want to avoid to have to send the flute to New York again, because a lot of taxes are involved if I do.
You say you make jinashi flutes, but even in a a jinashi flute you put a thin layer of laquer to protect the flute , don't you?
Thank you for your reply,
Igor

It is good to see that this group, somehow, still is alive and questions are posted.
Unfortunately, I have never heard of a shakuhachi maker in Europe. I do make my own instruments but only ji-nashi
shakuhachi, so I don't have any experience with lacquer.
There are, however, loads of American makers, who make really good shakuhahci. I hope they don't mind me
posting their e-mail addresses. It shoudld be fine as they may get shakuhachi contacts out of it, I guess. Here they
are:
Ken LaCosse: emptyflute@...
Monty Levenson: monty@...
Perry Young: slantgroup@...
Tom Deaver: tom-tom@...
Ken is based in San Francisco, Monty in northern California, Perry in New York, and Tom in Nagano prefecture in
Japan.
Hope they can give you some good advice. Perhaps you can tell us on the list what kind of result you had as all of us
may run into problems with our flutes.
Take care,
Kiku
