Gyokusui III 2.1 nobekan shakuhachi $1500. 287g. Lightweight nobekan of very attractive merits: lovely warm tone, similar to good Edo period flutes, great tuning well into the upper third octave and easy to handle. This flute has a full lacquered bore and is easy to voice. Intonation is excellent. Altogether a desirable shakuhachi to own, with a mellifluous character.   >>home
