Friends, My name is Neil Cohen. Many of you may know my business as
Naljor Creations. I am the American distributor for the Shakuhachi Yuu.
I hope this email will get to all of you since I do feel this is
excellent information to offer! I wanted to let you know that I have
recently spoken with Masayuki Koga and with Michael Chikuzen Gould.
These two well-known shakuhachi masters have agreed, when they are
available, to send me high quality shakuhachi flutes that they feel are
really good instruments and personally endorse. I will make these
shakuhachi available on my website (www.shakuhachiyuu.com). I am
offering this information to the group because I know how many of us
shakuhachi players, who are not experts, would like to feel safe and
secure purchasing a quality shakuhachi. I feel this outlet will be very
helpful for those of us who do not have the years of experience
necessary for choosing a really good shakuhachi, or who do not have a
teacher to help us choose a good flute. These two shakuhachi masters
will only send me flutes that pass their highly discerning standards
and that they personally endorse! Again, I would sincerely appreciate
if this message could make it to the group. -Neil
