Welcome to Yung Flutes Shakuhachi. Perry Yung trained in Japan under Kinya Sogawa for professional shakuhachi crafting in the Chikusing Tamai (Jiari - fine-tuned) and Watazumi (jinashi/hotchiku - natural bore) lineages. He is a multi-grant recipient from the Japan United States Friendship Commission (2003) and Asian Cultural Council (2014) specializing in shakuhachi. "Over the past four decades, I have seen the cost of good bamboo shakuhachi from Japan go up and up. They have now become more than many of my students are willing or able to spend. This is especially so with people just starting off on their shakuhachi journeys. Recently, I asked Perry if he had any reasonably priced shakuhachi for sale. He sent me two of his Tensei flutes. They were exactly what I was after. I've only seen two of Perry's Tensei flutes so far, but they certainly won't be the last I'll be getting for my students. Knowing Perry's penchant for perfection, I can comfortably give his flutes my highest recommendation." ," - Riley Lee, Dai Shihan, Organizer of the World Shakuhachi Festival, Sydney, Australia 2008. - Riley Lee
I am playing as neutrally as possible to show the natural tuning, response and tone color (voice) of the flute.
