This standard size 1.8 is in one piece and has a fully lacquered bore. It is presently undergoing final tuning.

This standard size 1.8 will have a fully lacquered bore. I am presently working on inserting the buffolo horn utaguchi insert before beginning work on the bore.

These two chokan are pitched one octave below the standard 1.8 shakuhachi. The one on the left has a wide bore and still needs holes. The other uses PVC with a bamboo mouthpiece.
