I am a professional shakuhachi craftsman and performer supported by grants from the Japan United States Friendship Commission and Asian Cultural Council. I studied crafting both contemporary and Zen shakuhachi under Kinya Sogawa in Japan.
As a repeat customer, Perry made available this fine shakuhachi at a great price. Perry's repairs on the non-functional shakuhachi were exceptional, as expected. The shakuhachi was carefully packed in a cardboard box, with all accessories (soft case / cleaning cloth / utaguchi cap / plastic storage bag), and shipped from coast-to-coast in four days. Zen in action.

Seller promptly answered my questions, was very understanding and cooperative with return process. Refund processed promptly (price of the item + applicable sales tax). Good communication throughout. Would recommend asking about material details before purchase if you have sensitivities.

A+++ eBayer! The Shakuhachi is superb and was packed very well and shipped quickly. As I held it in my hands, I felt lucky to have this magnificent instrument that Perry breathed new life into and let me buy it. Never having played a shakuhachi before, I was able to get a nice voice from it after a bit of effort. A new journey starts now; for that, I am grateful to Perry.
