Thanks for your interest in my work with shakuhachi. All but a few of the shakuhachi flutes listed on this page been Sold or are currently On Hold. They do go quickly once posted. I am working hard to keep up with the demand and add new flutes to the list whenever possible. However, new sales these days are largely custom orders, so am working off a waiting list for most models.

The good news is that I have a number of instruments in progress—many of which are near completion—so can be delivered in a timely manner. That being the case, if you are able to accommodate my schedule in the shakuhachi workshop and willing to wait a bit, reach out to me via email or phone to discuss a possible order. I will do my best to come with a shakuhachi that meets your acoustical and aesthetic preferences as well as your budget. Flexible payment options available.
