Bas' Shakuhachi Blog: november 2010
http://shakuhachibas.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Zondag 28 november 2010. They worked together on the flutes to make -for some- the best post WW-II flutes around. I haven't played that many flutes in general to say the same thing. But I know when I like a flute. Do I think flutes should be altered for the better? Maandag 8 november 2010. Many songs can be listened streaming on the site of Marty Regan. The first piece I came in contact with was Mirage. This one I heared live. My newest favourite is Voyage, listed under 2008. Iamronen blog and info.

Bas' Shakuhachi Blog: mei 2011

Zondag 8 mei 2011. Sold: 1.8 Kono Gyokusui. Shaved Roots for weight reduction and because the roots were in bad shape before. This will be a larger entry on my very nice Gyukusui. I have two and decided to let one go. Looking at the more simple hanko it seems most likely that it is made by Gyokusui Kono the first. It is a warm full soundig player, capable of all things a good shakuhachi must be able to do. Plays in tune with even intonation up into the 3rd octave. A warm, full sounding player. Unfortenat...

Bas' Shakuhachi Blog: Performing
http://shakuhachibas.blogspot.com/2011/09/performing.html
Dinsdag 6 september 2011. In some ways I think its easier to perform in front of a very big audience than in front of a small one. 8 september 2011 08:12. 9 september 2011 06:53. Maybe you are right Jeff, but I have to experience it more to feel the differences. It also depends maybe on the audience itself. Are they friends, relatives or people unknown. 9 september 2011 15:17. Bas, ik vind je stuk prachtig! En voel me een trotse moeder! 24 september 2011 16:32. 26 september 2011 22:05. Welcome to my blog!

Donderdag 29 april 2010. To sell or not to sell? Haven't learned this one officially, so it is my interpretation. Maybe when in doubt about parting with a flute.keep on to it a little longer (or make me an offer I can't refuse, ha ha). Dinsdag 27 april 2010. Skype and modern ways of teaching learning. The modern day can have many a benefit! How wonderfull is that! So I am gratefull this technique is available. But still I am not very happy with it. Zondag 25 april 2010. DIY humidor Shakuhachi case. I hav...

Woensdag 31 augustus 2011. Prague Shakuhachi Festival 2011. Here is the first of some more posts about this festival.

The city is lovely, the venue very nice and the people.Well see for your self. Class setting with Christopher Blasdel. In both ther...

Woensdag 28 september 2011. Relaxing on command is difficult. I feel a more gentle approach might be better for it. And playing Ro, that is a good way to sense the body and let some unneccesary tensions go. How relaxed do you play the flute? Dinsdag 6 september 2011. Abonneren op: Berichten (Atom).

Dinsdag 31 augustus 2010. After pondering about some time about playing the shak and learning I've reached a decision: I don't want to go on the old. Way I want to put more time in it! Woensdag 4 augustus 2010. Next event that comes up my path is the European Shakuhachi summerschool in Prague! I am already enthousiastic about it! To meet others and play together is perhaps the best thing to keep the spirit of playing and wanting to practice alive. Abonneren op: Berichten (Atom). Iamronen blog and info.
