This is quick and messy tutorial on how to make the most basic, simple non root shakuhachi flute from bamboo. From my Daily Zen Shakuhachi, I use non root bamboo from the upper part of the stalk as they work fine for this type of flute. These are made in a similar approach to that of an artist making a sketch. Often times, the sketch can be a great piece of art in itself. Especially of the artist had been drawing for a lifetime. These flutes are valued around $100 and available only through donations to your local food bank in this unique moment in human history. I made this tutorial because I am presently out of bamboo and if you feel learned from it, and if you feel inclined, you can make a small donation to your local food bank. Feel free to ask how you can help through my Yungflutes Facebook page, Instagram and G mail. Enjoy. Thanks, Perry
