The Shakuhachi: What is it? The place to find out is that fountain of knowledge called the Internet.

Written by Jesse S. Somer

When most people used to hear a new word repparttar

most obvious reaction was to go straight to a dictionary and find out what it meant or what repparttar 118635

object was. These days you could go to on-line dictionaries, but even that is often unnecessary. Just type repparttar 118636

word into your Web search engine (E.g., Google) and see what comes up. How hard is that?

Well, fortunately I know what a shakuhachi is but I don’t think I’d be wrong to say that many of my fellow humans have no conception of what this magical instrument is. http://www.shakuhachi.com/TOC-MM.html is repparttar 118637 first site that comes up on Google and it’s quite a good example of how extensive repparttar 118638 knowledge of something you’ve never heard of can be, as well as how to create a thorough website. Although ‘Shakuhachi-Traditional Japanese Bamboo Flute’ is essentially a commercial site that hopes for visitors to buy its products, there is access to a stockpile of historical information as well as links to all sorts of musicians and books related to repparttar 118639 subject.

This Tai Hei Shakuhachi site is full of photographs of this beautiful looking and of course sounding instrument. The reason I am writing this article is because repparttar 118640 moment when I heard this instrument played by repparttar 118641 first non-Japanese Grand Master, it simply changed my life. His name is Ryley Lee and what I witnessed at his concert was repparttar 118642 most focused, peaceful and magical display of music that I could have ever imagined. This flute only has four holes; you should hear how many sounds could come out of it!

On this website under a section called ‘Endorsements’ (obviously they want some credibility when selling their instruments) a number of master players comment on repparttar 118643 Tai Hei shakuhachis. Ryley Lee was on this list and what he said about their instruments was quite incredible; these guys must really know their stuff. A good sign that repparttar 118644 site is worthy of mention is repparttar 118645 fact that they endorse other people and their products. They’re not just one-track-minded capitalists thinking only of their own pockets.
