   About Ken LaCosse - Mujitsu/Taimu Shakuhachi


Brand new Mujitsu Taimu Shakuhachi now available.

Welcome to the Mujitsu Shakuhachi MySpace site. Here you'll find shakuhachi flutes made by Ken LaCosse of San Francisco, California. Mujitsu Shakuhachi are played by students, teachers and professional musicians throughout the world. These shakuhachi are made using a meticulous, hand adjusted bore technique called 'jinashi.' With this method, the natural shape of the bore of the flute is used as much as possible, carefully adjusting only where necessary.

Listen to the selections above for artists who play and record with Mujitsu Shakuhachi.

For more details about Mujitsu Shakuhachi including a complete list of shakuhachi in stock, please check out: Mujitsu Shakuhachi.

Feel free to send me a note!

Thanks!

Ken LaCosse

Excellent! Thanks for clearing up my occasional mental dyslexia, haha. I have a habit of reversing certain things while typing... All the best of success to you and your business, zen too-- By the way, that taimu is sounding great and will prob make some videos of playing it soon; not to say i have mastered it or anything, but man-- it has such a great earthy tone.

Like the new tunes! Especially the Komuso one with the chanting. Is that Michael Gould doing the chanting? I think I've heard it before. Very unique...
