In their own words
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Excellent classes, I recommend them. I felt at ease and made good chemistry with Zapata sensei, who inspired me to strengthen my practice. His book is a must, it is very good. I recently received my Jiari Shakuhachi Mumon Ryu and GEM series bass flute and they are wonderful, extraordinary pieces. The sound flows with ease, enjoying blow and tone. It has helped me to improve my sound and this really inspires me and makes me feel better about my daily practice of blowing zen. Thank you sensei."

"I have received my flute after only 3 days of enrolling to shakuhachi master course. The response was quick and from the beginning of the course I've been treated with respect and encouragement. The course has many topics that support my learning and is easily accessible and concise. The study cycles progress through the certification and are laid out in a logical and progressive manner with personal instructional training support from Zapata sensei."
