@@Diehydro yes, by starting with the all holes open, you can concentrate on the mouth position first instead of worrying about the fingers which is a whole another factor. 👍
@@MikiShinobueYes and one thing more beside take out worry about fingers one don’t need to push the air through the whole length of the bamboo tube with your untrained mouth/face.
@@MrPirreE Yes, you are right! The mouth, face, core muscles, and breathing all need to be properly used to propel the air through the long tube to get a good ryo on 1!
For me, ryo on 1 was most definitely the most difficult, then it became the easiest not to make resonant and rich. Then, ryo on 6 and 7 became almost “whiny” for a while. Funny how it all works out!
You must be good if you are just getting just condensation because I literally had saliva problems and I get questions from people about their spit problems too! 🫢
@@MikiShinobue while i don't have a shinobue, i do play a bamboo flute, been 1 year on the 7 of this month, i love flute, though it can be frustrating at times haha thank you for the kind words
That's so me! It took me several DAYS to make a sound, any sound, and when I finally made one it was no good 😅
That's very common! I hope you are doing better!! Or use this video ❤ Trust me ,it will get better!!
In our Shakuhachi school we do not start with Ro (the lowest tone), instead we start with all fingerholes open too.
