尺八 shakuhachi
松濤 Shoto
Shipping method: DHL Express

This is an elegant 1.9 shaku (isshaku-kyusun, C♯) Japanese shakuhachi crafted from high-quality Karin (Chinese quince) wood. Unlike traditional bamboo shakuhachi, this finely crafted wooden model offers excellent durability, stable tuning, and an attractive reddish-brown grain with a beautifully polished finish.

The instrument bears the carved signature “松濤” (Shoto) and features a traditional two-piece construction with decorative horn-style joint rings. The interior of the bore is smoothly lacquered, contributing to a clear response and pleasant tone. According to the previous owner, it is easy to play and produces a rich, resonant sound.

Wooden shakuhachi such as this are appreciated by both performers and collectors for their reliable performance, elegant craftsmanship, and resistance to climate changes compared with natural bamboo instruments.

Suitable for traditional Japanese music, meditation, ensemble performance, studio recording, or as an attractive display piece in a Japanese musical instrument collection.
