Hi
Greetings to all. Sorry to say that I do not play shakuhachi, but I enjoy what I have heard and I would like to learn. I know it's a lot of work and years of studying. I have my reasons for wanting to learn. Thanks for this forum....for me it's a start.
PEACE

Re: Hi
Welcome, Lady B.
Despite what everyone says about years of practice etc (and it's all true), consider this: you can start now, this instant, and your start will be complete in itself. Don't wait until you have time for practice - you have the time now. When you start, don't think you have to wait until you are proficient on the instrument before you can make music - you can make it now, with whatever skill you have today.
... and that goes for any instrument!
... as if nothing is happening. And it is!

Hi Lady B.
There is a shakuhachi teacher in North Carolina. His name is Clarence Dozan Ledbetter. He is a fine player from the Tozan school and his wife plays koto. I don't know him but here's a link:
