"la Jiari Shakuhachi Koumori (Gem Series / Black Hole Sun) que adquirí es un instrumento maravilloso. Pude ver y escuchar una audición del instrumento en un video que Zapata Sensei me grabó, y que terminó de convencerme de que estoy, no solo ante un instrumento difícil de describir para mí, sino ante uno con un sonido potente y muy completo desde los bajos hasta las tesituras más altas. Sus armónicos, potencia de volumen, así como su impactante estética. Pude ver que estoy ante una joya musical..."

"Maestro Zapata sus flautas tienen un timbre muy hermoso, creía que solo podía obtenerse ese sonido con bambú madake japonés, pero pude encontrar en su variedad de instrumentos este hermoso timbre que usted interpreta en ellos. Poseo otros shakuhachi pero no producen estas tonalidades y colores."
