Mujitsu and Tairaku's Shakuhachi BBQ

Special thank & gratitude to Mujitsu, Edosan, gmiller...well, all of you out there.  Wrapped in a wet towel for a week (as I traveled across the country) in a plastic bag.  I could not believe it (i mean the flute was crushed!) came back almost to it's original shape. Used hose clamps to tighten it up, wrapped it in 6 places (it's a 2.4) & used the super glue recommended be Ken (Mujitsu) and it plays as well as ever. It may not be zen-like to love material thing but hey... I'm almost 64 years of age & seem to be hanging on to some of my definciancies of character. Anyway just got to North Dakota & have my computer up again...that's why I seem to be remiss about contacting you all sooner.
