We introduce our Shakuhachi Jinashi Yoshin Series, high-quality bamboo flutes. These professional flutes are handmade by master Zapata, using the finest, high-resonance Colombian root-end bamboo, thanks to the special thickness of its walls. Each piece of bamboo is individually selected to create a perfect wind instrument with an unmatched tone that only Colombian bamboo can offer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur new generation of shakuhachi jinashi features a precision-inlaid mouthpiece with an exclusive design by Zapata sensei, referred to as \"singing bat\" (Koumori Utaguchi). Additionally, it has a thin inner layer of non-toxic varnish that protects the instrument and allows for easier internal cleaning, preventing pathogens from saliva or other external agents from lodging inside the tube. At the same time, it preserves its rustic texture, which maintains its authentic natural sound—a unique, traditional, earthy, and bass-oriented tone with subdued, medium treble. The bamboo body remains completely natural, varnished to protect and enhance the unique shades and colors of Colombian bamboo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Yoshin series has a perfect balance due to the weight and thickness of the root-end bamboo. The beauty of the rhizome is preserved to provide a unique and stunning aesthetic. These flutes typically have a slight natural curvature that adds to the instrument's shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bamboo is cured and dried for 2 years before the handcrafting process, a delicate and patient procedure personally performed by Master Zapata to produce a flute ready for concerts, studio recordings, or home practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bamboo is cultivated at an altitude of 1000-1400 meters and has been strengthened by different temperatures for nearly 3 years.
