Top-grade silver-wrapped long shakuhachi! 2 shaku 5 sun 5 bu shakuhachi ☆ 2 shaku 4 sun G# tuning pipe!

Extra-long shakuhachi! A 2 shaku 5 sun 5 bu shakuhachi by Takeji Mei☆
This is a 2 shaku 4 sun G# pipe, tuned to the standard scale!

This is a fine instrument that produces a very deep Otsu no Ro sound!

This is an ultra-long pipe, longer than an A pipe, which is rarely seen!

The finger holes are arranged in a straight line, not diagonally.
I preferred this type because it's easier to hold once you get used to it☆

This is a 2 shaku 4 sun pipe (G# pipe).
It is also sometimes referred to as a 2 shaku 5 sun 5 bu pipe.
Length: approx. 780mm, Weight: approx. 530g.

I used this instrument to play honkyoku (original shakuhachi pieces) and Western music☆

Sound production has been confirmed☆

[Sound]
The Otsu no Ro resonates with a deep, booming sound.
The sound of a long pipe is truly exceptional,
and this is a fine instrument that becomes powerful with great volume!

[Crack Prevention]
There are vertical lines above and below the five holes,
but they are firmly closed on the surface.
As there has been no spreading or other issues,
I have continued to use it as is.

There are no problems with the sound,
and all notes, including Otsu no Ro, play clearly.

[Utaguchi (Mouthpiece)]
Tozan style.

[Joint Decoration]
A wide, lacquered silver band (beta-gin)!
This is believed to be a top-quality pipe from its era.

There is no looseness or play in the joint.

This is a rare and valuable ultra-long pipe that is hard to come by☆
