SIDE BLOWN FLUTE - In-Sen | Bamboo Body - Exotic Scale

The koto scale works wonderfully in flute form. One run through the scale, and I was immediately transported to feudal Japan. It has that ominous lonely sound to it that makes me think of Japanese horror stories. At the same time, it would not sound out of place accompanying the background to a samurai drama or a bamboo forest. I tend to love these Japanese scales, and this one is no exception.

All flutes I've ordered from Erik were beautifully made and sound delightful. The hand written / drawn instructions that come with them are very fun and make learning his flutes really accessible to beginners like me (as do his YouTube videos). Each flute has been packaged to a nearly bomb-proof degree, with an amount of care that really shows how much he respects his flutes and his customers.
