Receive a free private on-line shakuhachi lesson
with any new or restored vintage instrument purchased from Tai Hei Shakuhachi
If you are just starting out on the shakuhachi, this is a great way to learn the basics of flute care, posture, breathing and sound production.
If you already have some experience with the instrument, it will certainly help to refine your technique and familiarity with the traditional music.
There is no obligation to sign up for lessons beyond this free introductory session, so I encourage you to take advantage of their expertise via this generous offer. Please note, this offer applies to newly-purchased instruments only, and is limited to one lesson per customer.
