The name "Shakuhachi" means "1.8 shaku", referring to its length.
"1.8 shaku" is "1 shaku and 8 sun".
1 shaku is approx. 30.3cm.
10 sun is 1 shaku.
Therefore, length of "Shakuhachi" is 54.5cm.
Sir James Galway has commented as follows.
"As you probably have noticed I have never really recommended one metal over another when discussing flutes. The fact is that I cannot tell the difference when I am listening to someone play."
Similarly, Shakuhachi of an aerophone is essentially any musical instrument that produces sound primarily by causing a body of air to vibrate, without the use of strings or membranes, and without the vibration of the instrument itself adding considerably to the sound.
However due to the skill required, the time involved, and the range of quality in materials to craft bamboo shakuhachi, one can expect to pay from US$300 to US$5,000 for a new or used flute. Because each piece of bamboo is unique, shakuhachi cannot be mass-produced, and craftsmen must spend much time finding the correct bore shape for each individual flute to result in correct pitch over all notes.
In that respect, Shakuhachi YUU of abs resin have many advantages over their traditional bamboo counterparts: they are extremely durable, unaffected by temperature change.
Additionally Shakuhachi YUU was restructured the dimension of the shakuhachi of bamboo made by Japanese famous master craftsman, by precision mold.
