Welcome to Lost Creek, a little known place in the heart of Utah along the famous Paiute Trail. Seen in the background is Squaw Ledge, a towering cliff with many stories of cultural significance.
The shakuhatchi is a traditional bamboo flute often associated with the Samurai. The strength of the cured bamboo is stronger than steel and was an alternative to carrying a sword for defense. It also served as a meditative and music-making tool which one must focus their posture, fine control of the breath, as well as the pitch and tone of each possible note.
This instrument contains no "technology" to assist the production of a note, and is played by gently channeling a fine point of air into a small notch (the mouthpiece). For me, it generally takes a few minutes for me to tune in to the instrument and a controlled breathing technique.
It might seem a little rough at first, but it gradually evolves into something beautiful. This is my favorite instrument to play, and generally compliments the scenes and sounds of nature.
I hope you will watch to the end and experience the moment. Please like this video and consider subscribing if you enjoy content like this!
