I hope this is not out of line, asking this question in this section, I have already been graciously helped by members of this forum with advice & at 63 (64 in three weeks) am not too proud to request aid. I have a native american flute in walnut in G purchased about 4 months ago for $140, it's in wonderful condition. I havn't picked it up since falling for the shakuhach. I'm making monthly payments to a member on a 2.4 Ken Lacross & own a 2.0 Peter Ross & a 1.8 maple. I cannot afford lessons at the present time (hopefully that'll change soon) but would like to know if anyone has any old beginner instruction/ lesson books they will trade for the folk flute. I can get just wonderful tones but would like to learn properly.

I've got a Masayuki Koga book for beginners I suppose I could trade with you. I will not be back in the states (if that's where your at) until this weekend though. It is a good book, it has all the basic, lots of folk tunes, and about 6 sankyoku pieces notated in it. Go ahead and e-mail me if you want. I also have a John Kaizan Neptune beginners book if you want to go Tozan instead of Kinko. I kinda want to hold on to that one alittle longer, just until I get better at reading Tozan notation, the timing still throws me off, I'm so used to Kinko notation.
