The sweetness and richness of the tone color of this Shakuhachi is difficult to describe. This instrument is of very high quality. The response of all notes is great and overall balance excellent. This is a high quality concert shakuhachi having a bright and robust tone. This is a very fine instrument made by Yamaguchi Shiro in his later years.
All notes respond well and the tone color is bright and sweet.
This is a great extremely rare Mid Edo period shakuhachi from Kyoto made well before the time of Higuchi Taizan.
