This Shakuhachi Jinashi model offers a beautiful 侘寂 WABI-SABI gradient color skin. The term Wabi can be understood as simple, elegant and beautiful. On the other hand the term Sabi, meaning deterioration by the passage of time, this model expresses the idea of a worldview based on the beauty of the transience and imperfection of a rustic appearance, through the artistic expression between the coloring technique and the natural staining of bamboo: The simple beauty of the time passing.
Our new generation of practice jinashi shakuhachi offer the internal coating technology of a thin inner layer of non-toxic varnish that protects the instrument and allows for better internal cleaning, preventing pathogens that saliva or other external agents can cause from lodging inside the tube, while preserving its rustic texture that keeps its authentic natural sound, a unique traditional earthy, dirty and bass oriented tone with medium and subdued treble. This flute has a natural blowing edge. All-natural body varnished with the unique shades and color of Colombian bamboo. This flute series really offers the naturalness of bamboo sound in one blowing. Perfect resonance because of the thick bamboo walls.
History links this type of root-end flute to the model used by the Buddhist Fuke sect of the extinct Komuso monks.
If you are looking for a flute with outstanding traditional sound, responsible resonance, aesthetics and impeccable appearance, balanced, accurately tuned: We present our Jinashi Gem Series. A practice flute made by master Zapata's finest personally selected root-end bamboo, to create a perfect wind instrument with an unmatched tone that only the colombian bamboo can offer. The flutes have a natural balance given by the weight of the same thickness of the root-end bamboo. The beauty of the teeth (base of rhizome) of its roots is preserved to give a unique and beautiful aesthetic. These mostly have a natural little curvature that beautifies the instrument in its shape. Cured in a delicate and patient process done personally by master Zapata to obtain a flute ready to studio recording and home study practice. The flute is sealed with the luthier's (Hanko) personal seal on the reverse and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
Customized shipping box Includes: bamboo flute, fragrance incense, blowing instructions sheet and fingering notation chart, cloth bag (delivered according to availability, reference photo). The flute stand is sold separately.
