Chido 1.8
This shakuhachi by Abe Chido has a very large bore and deep, earthy tone, but also has a sweet and easily focused sound and a lot of projection in the upper register, wonderful balance and playability, and a lot of chikuin. Since the advent of the Kodo lineage in the Meiji period many makers have put "-do" in their name, but Abe Chido is one of the few whose shakuhachi rate as true master-quality instruments.
