Changing the instrument a little, Shakuhachi is the japanese bamboo root-end vertical flute. With only 5 holes, it was used by Komuso monks for meditation. Today the meditation musics still remain as Honkyoku. Shakuhachi is also used to accompany the shamisen in Minyo (folk songs) and Nagauta/Sankyoku (classical songs), and modern songs too (Think of some enka, or the worldwide famous anime Naruto) The songe here is Tsugaru Yama Uta, sung by the workers who lived on the feet of Iwaki mountain, in Aomori district, hence, the name Tsugaru. Yokobue (horzontal bamboo flute) is also used to play this song. The singing is very difficult, resembling the hard work and bad weather. Lyrics change between the eastern and western part of the mountain's foot. Please enjoy!

hmm is the embouchure for the shakuhachi anything similiar to that of a western concert flute, or a chinese bamboo flute?

i have bought a hocchiku shakuhachi too, but you must learn what way you must put your lips (embouchure) and the next thing is your breathing. I can play simple songs, like kimigayo (japanese national anthem, it is fun.)

Absolutely beautiful. I obtained a 5 hole bamboo flute last Saturday and though I can play a simple tune now it is not flawless as yet! I pray I may be able to be half as elegant as your music someday.

i could close my eyes and listen to this all night, perhaps in the morning, I'll have forgotten where I am.

So meditative... It was very soothing too. Well suited(?) for meditation so I'm gonna listen to this more times. Sorry for my bad english.
