Yasuhiro 1.8
There are three generations of makers named Endo Yasuhiro; this flute is by the father of the present one and thus dates from the early post-war period. It's very light, lots of chikuin and bamboo in the sound but it's also very smooth and unusually responsive. The tone is sweeter, richer, and darker than one finds with almost all modern shakuhachi. It's a very high quality all-around instrument.
Price: $3000
