This 2.4 shakuhachi was made on order. I include it here for reference.

The flute has a dark, round tonal colour with a broad, open sound, a good response and balance throughout the octaves. Both, otsu and kan register are easy accessible and is also capable of the dai-kan range. The inside bore is finished with black urushi. The middle joint was finished with rattan bindings.

This shakuhachi can be used for various styles and genres and due to its length (lower key) is particular suitable to play honkyoku. The shakuhachi comes with a protective utaguchi cap and grey cloth bag.
