Kyotaku 2.35 (A)

Maker : Thilo Burdach
Beautiful nice looking kyotaku. Bore is not too wide , it is also very suitable for women with smaller hands. This flute belonged to a student who played it for 12 years, so it is probably not prone to cracking .
Plays very easily and is very good in tune in both octaves.

Kyotaku 2.8  ( F# )

Made by Thilo Bhurdach
This beautiful kyotaku is one of my own collection and has always been one of my favorites. I bought it in 2007 and played it until now.
Because of its length being a bit too much strenuous for me I now have a 2.7 , so this one may go to a new owner.
It is a warm and very deep sound, plays easy in both octaves.
It has two hankos. One handcarved , which was Thilo's first hanko , later he reworked the flute and gave it his new hanko stamp.
Repairs are from the beginning so very stable.
The utaguchi inlay is from deer horn.
Inside is poison free acrylic lacquer.
Opening at utaguchi  26 mm
Opening at rootend 22 mm
Weight 675 gram, Length 845 mm
Comes with a handmade leather utaguchi cap.

Price 1450 euro

Mujitsu 1.8 ( C# ) ji-nashi shakuhachi

Exceptionally smooth , powerful, velvety tone. Rich glow and sweet , easily controlled decay. A relatively wide bore shakuhachi in between a Taimu and conventional bore. That's why the ground note is C# instead of D.
Made from a 45 year old Japanese madake bamboo , which is very hard to get these days for shakuhachi makers. Because of the age the repaired crack is not prone to cracking anymore and very stable. Made by the late famous shakuhachi and Taimu maker Ken LaCosse , Mujitsu and Taimu Dojo.
A very rare instrument indeed.
