Part 3 of the special shakuhachi techniques: muraiki (ムラ息) or ‘breathy tone’. Muraiki is a controlled way to change to tone colour to a breathy sound for special effect. #shakuhachi #尺八 #muraiki #ムラ息 #practice youtu.be/7uetwH0F898

The quiet shakuhachi koten honkyoku contains some secular pieces that are merely played to be enjoyed. This one is played at festivals in the Azuma region to the South of present-day Tokyo. #shakuhachi #尺八 #azuma #jishi #吾妻獅子 #honkyoku #本曲 youtu.be/97bKtq1jPpI

A good posture when playing shakuhachi is important to breathe freely and prevent health issues. I go over playing shakuhachi when standing, sitting or kneeling (seiza). #shakuhachi #posture #playing #standing #sitting #kneeling #seiza #diaphragm #尺八 youtu.be/RvtRgU0Dhzo

Shakuhachi (尺八) scores are often quite wide, which makes it difficult to put them on a normal music stand. I’m looking at traditional music stands, a new take on music stands and digital solutions. #musicstand #music #shakuhachi #尺八 youtu.be/xr08_b-u3vg

Part 4 of the series on special shakuhachi techniques: the チ–ル (Chi–ru) pattern. It can be confusing initially but is straightforward when you know what to practise. #shakuhachi #尺八 #honkyoku 本曲 #chiru #chirupattern #チル #practice youtu.be/LhWStxeUShU

I played kuyō kyoku (供養曲) on a 2.7 shakuhachi, a traditional piece (shakuhachi koten honkyoku; 尺八古典本曲). The title translates as ‘memorial service’. #kuyokyoku #供養曲 #shakuhachi #尺八 #kotenhonkyoku #古典本曲 #honkyoku youtu.be/WmiuPnT99a4

Another special shakuhachi techniqu: kubi furi (首振り), the main vibrato technique. Despite the saying 首振り三年’ (kubi furi san nen’ – three years for kubi furi) there is just one core technique. #shakuhachi #tutorial #kubifuri #vibrato #尺八 #首振り youtu.be/B40f-ZV_Gw0
