Shakuhachi for sale

Hi. My name is Tran Cao, a flute player in Vietnam. I have been playing the Vietnamese flute for more than 10 years and Shakuhachi for 2 years.

Actually I had known Shakuhachi for many years before however I could not afford one at that time. I believe that Shakuhachi is still quite expensive for many people to start.

Fortunately, I have found a good Shakuhachi source.  That is why I build up this shop to provide Shakuhachi with much more reasonable prices to players around the world. I would try to put the price under 500US.

All posted Shakuhachi flutes have a sound video for your reference. You can also require more sound and ask me to arrange a video call if required. 

Each shakuhachi is unique so that it may not suitable for all people. One more thing I can do is that you can return it with full refund excluding the 2-way shipping fee if you feel that Shakuhachi is not suitable for you. 

Payment can be made via Paypal but Paypal fee should be charged by buyers.

All my trades are based on reputation and respect. 

I hope you can find a good Shakuhachi to start the interesting journey.

Best regards,

Tran Cao.
