Hi Folks, I'm making a shakuhachi 390mm long (approx. 1.3 size) with interior utaguchi diameter of 20mm. Ro right now is a 'G'. Any suggestions on diameters for the holes? Are they proportionately smaller than the typical 10-11mm holes of a 1.8? Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

Hey Tom,
I would start them out at 3/8" except for #3 at 1/4" (room to enlarge).
Bet it'll be a screamer!
