The CD features Mujitsus radical wide bore raw bamboo shakuhachi exclusively. Brian Tairuku Ritchie Brian Ritchie came to prominence in the field of music in 1982 with his band Violent Femmes. Brian started the band to explore the possibilities of acoustic instrumentation playing rock, jazz, blues, country and folk music with a strong improvisational element. The Femmes have played more than 2000 concerts in over 30 different countries around the world. Some highlights include sold out performances at Carnegie Hall, Royal Albert Hall, three hundred thousand people at Woodstock 94 and the northernmost rock concert in history at the magnetic north pole. They have numerous gold and platinum records. Brians main instrument in the band is acoustic bass, but as an insatiable multi-instrumentalist he has performed or recorded on over 40 instruments. Brian started playing the Shakuhachi (Japanese Bamboo Flute) in 1996 as part of his never-ending search for new musical challenges. He was also attracted to the instrument because of his Buddhist backgr Mujitsu 2010-09-08T16:53:58+00:00 http://www.shakuhachimarketplace.com/auction_details.php?auction_id=100319 http://www.shakuhachimarketplace.com/auction_details.php?auction_id=100319 100% cotton.

Angled holes. Best played with pipers grip. Rich, glowing, foghorn tone with powerful vibration. $2,000Taimu - The Big Nothing Taimu shakuhachi are long, wide bore flutes with a deep, airy, expressive tone. Ive been working closely with Brian Tairaku Ritchie for a number of years developing this particular style of shakuhachi. They are currently my main focus. My concern when building these flutes is finding a glowing tone quality. This glow is very different than the focused, pure tone of thinner bored shakuhachi. Ken LaCosse, of San Francisco, has been making shakuhachi since 1987. Early on, he specialized in modern, precision style shakuhachi called ji-ari. After being introduced to the older style of vintage ji-nashi shakuhachi by shakuhachi player John Singer, he focused on ji-nashi making exclusively. In an effort to refine some of the characteristics of extra wide bore, long flutes, he works closely with shakuhachi player Brian Tairaku Ritchie, making a style of shakuhachi called Taimu. Ken provides shakuhachi for professional players, teachers and students throughout the world. Ken is also co-administrator of the World Shakuhachi Forum Mujitsu 2010-09-08T16:53:58+00:00 http://www.shakuhachimarketplace.com/auction_details.php?auction_id=100321 http://www.shakuhachimarketplace.com/auction_details.php?auction_id=100321 Taimu 2.8 (F Solid, dense, heavy, wide bore, Jimori Taimu.
