J'ai bien reçu le shakuhachi, il est magnifique! et quel son (quand j'arrive à en produire un 'bon')! Merci, je pouvais pas rêver mieux.
Thomas, 1.8 Ji-nashi 0324
In 2011, I had my only experience as a shakuhachi maker at the European Shakuhachi Society summer school in London. Under the guidance of Chiku Za (a.k.a. Kodama Hiroyuki) and José Vargas, I ended up with a nice 2.4. I enjoyed the sound very much. It was very dense in the middle frequencies, round and warm. The flute had some weaknesses. Some of the notes were not easy to play, and the flute was lacking a bit of power to my taste. Nine years later, the flute happened to crack and Jean-Luc proposed to me to deal with that. He also proposed to work a bit on the flute to improve the weakness mentioned above. It was however particularly important for me to keep the tonal characteristics of the flute. I did not want to sacrifice them for a bigger volume and for improved reactivity. Jean-Luc worked on the bore in a very subtle manner. He corrected a few points that allowed playing the notes that were not working before, improved the reactivity of the flute, and increased its volume. And above all while keeping the character of the flute, he succeeded to improve the control of the sound. More sound colors are now accessible which makes the flute much more interesting. I am very satisfied with his work.

Hi Jean-luc...I keep the shakuhachi! I've been playing it every day since it has arrived - I love it! Thank you :-)

Hi Jean-Luc, , I received the shakuhachi this morning. Very quick and unexpected. It arrived in good contdition and I am happy, very happy with it. Because I only play 9 months, it is exciting how a new shaku plays. I can play the low register and I noticed that it is easy going in Kan-register. And I can do all the things I study on my 1.8. I like the sound and it must not be bigger for me, but I can manage to close the holes. Perhaps when I play it more, it will be easier. So, the right choice! And it gives a good sound when I play it very relaxed. It is nice to explore this instrument and let it reveal it’s heart. Thank you!
With warm regards,

Hi Jean-luc, The big bore D arrived intact, and it’s very nice! I like it a lot. Great to have that low a pitch. It plays great, the bamboo is beautiful, and I appreciate all the enhancements you’ve made to it. Plus it’s lighter in weight than I had anticipated. Thanks a lot! best regards

Bonsoir Jean -Luc, J'ai reçu le shakuhachi hier en parfait état. Il me plaît beaucoup, c'est un beau bambou. Pour jouer, il faudra que je m'entraîne un peu. J'arrive (à peine) à fermer tous les trous. Je dois surtout "chercher" les ro dans les différents octaves. Mais sinon, je suis très content du son et de l'intonation. La sonorité bas mais clair est très relaxant. Merci beaucoup et meilleures salutations

j'ai bien reçu le colis vendredi, sans soucis.Le shakuhachi est splendide, encore plus
une fois dans les mains. Le timbre riche en harmoniques est exactement ce que je recherchai,
seule adaptation à faire, utiliser l'auriculaire pour le troisième trou.Mais la prise en main est naturelle,
le placement des trous idéal, et je suis étonné pas la facilité de jeu. Bref, je suis ravi.
Merci de fabriquer de si beau ji-nashi, ici en France.

Cher Jean-Luc,
Outre sa grande beauté esthétique, le son de ce 3.0 en mi est tout simplement envoûtant. Des basses riches, profondes qui t’enveloppent littéralement comme un vêtement tout en vibrant à l’intérieur de soi. Un kan et dai kan à la fois chaleureux et chargés de chaudes harmoniques. Merci de m’avoir fait découvrir ces nouvelles sensations.

Dear Jean-luc,
The flutes arrived safe and all in good condition. Since we are having our yoga Master here I haven’t had much chances to play both, but only the 2.0. It is a nice sounding flute. I like the Jinashi sound.
The long flute is long . But I keep trying to cover the holes and after time I’ll be able to play the bottom Ro. ...I have now a bit more time and keep playing your 2.0 flute. It is really nice, not screaming loud flute but nice and gently sweet sound. So again thank you very much for this instrument. I also managed to make some progress on th 3.1, able to cover the holes now and the Ro began to sound. this one though only a ground level sounds very nice and so well in tune! Hope you’re staying healthy and away from the corona virus.Om Shanti.

Cher Jean Luc, Ton instrument me procure un grand plaisir. Je ne voudrais pas revenir à un instrument de 1.8 de long. Pour l'instant, j'ai trouvé la bonne. La visite chez toi a été une expérience très enrichissante, pour diverses raisons: Pour moi, le Shakuhachi est un instrument de méditation, qui sonne aussi des sons, la musique est un beau cadeau. - Je voulais un instrument facile, pour reprendre le jeu de cet instrument que j'avais délaissé pendant 10 ans. Celui-ci est parfait : Je peux utiliser la motivation dont je dispose pour jouer régulièrement, tous les jours. - Ce n'est pas un instrument parfait- craqué/ligaturé-, donc vous lui avez donné un prix très abordable, mais pour moi, il est parfait, maintenant.
Merci beaucoup je reviendrais vers vous dans le futur pour choisir un autre instrument plus court.
