Can you recommend some reliable sites which offer shakuhachi music for purchase?

[I'm assuming you don't already know about this; perhaps you do...]

I would also recommend iTunes; not a 'site' per se, but it's a software music player supported on both Mac and PC.

Download it here (the website will detect your platform and produce the appropriate version):

http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

iTunes, when installed, will connect you to the iTunes store, and a search there for 'shakuhachi', or the names
of particular players, will yield many albums/tunes which you can sample and download for a reasonable fee.

There are a ton of shakuhachi downloads on Amazon, and unlike iTunes, they are DRM-free.

Josh, just wanted to mention that I purchased your album from CD Baby today and am really enjoying it! 

Thanks for directing me to CD Baby.


I bought another shakuhachi album from itunes recently but for some reason they have drastically reduced the speed of their downloads.  I'm not impressed with that.

If anyone else on the forum has an album for sale in mp3 format somewhere on the net, feel free to let me know.  I am your potential customer as I cast about for good shakuhachi music to listen to and learn from.

cheers,
Erin

Thanks Brian.  I bought both CD's.  Am downloading now and looking forward to some good listening!

cheers,
Erin
