The Passing of Gyokusui

I just heard it through the grapevine that 2 daimei (2nd generation) Gyokusui has passed away today. Many people on this forum may own his finely hand-crafted flutes, myself included... I suggest we all play a song for a great contributor to the shakuhachi world.  Sorry, I do not have any details right now other than it was unexpected.

Re: The Passing of Gyokusui

Ohhhh.... that is sad news. I spoke to him on the phone a month or so ago, and he seemed perfectly fine then.
Let us know more details, so those of us who know him can perhaps send a note to the family.
Yes, let's play for him.
