need shakuhachi bore measurements of other data
hello guys,
after that long discussion about the material- back to reality ;-)
A friend of mine is doing a 3d printed flute project at Mit Media Lab, next week will do a 3d printed shakuhachi.
I own couple of good shakuhachi. Good ones but not special. Is there anybody out there who has bore measurements of other data of great flutes that we can use for this project?
This is for research what the machine can do. Its not to make new shakuhachi business or something..but, i thought it will be cool to use this opportunity to see if the material matters;-)
Looking forward!!
Please email me privately with the data!
best
Geni

Hi Geni,
Measuring a bore is a pretty complex process and not always accurate. In case you don't receive any new profiles there are some already available. Here are measurements for a 1.8 which have been averaged.
In Masayuki Koga's manual there are also some detailed, slightly wider bore measurements. Carl Abbott also has some basic measurements in his "Blowing Zen" manual.
Good luck with the project!
