Repair Items
Cracks, winding
Basically, dent the bamboo surface by the thickness of the thread, and then tighten it with cut thread.
Cover with lacquer, make up the surface with rattan roll, finish it with bamboo skin.
"Take up to 7 places in the upper tube" The shorter the better its become.
Loose joint in two-piece flutes
If only shrinkage of a tenon, it will be fixed by 2 or 3 coats of Urushi lacquer.
If tailoring is bad, rattling will occur and repair of replacement will be necessary.
There is also an influence of a tenon material.
Mouthpiece
The mouthpiece which got partly missing because of hitting the corner inadvertently or being bitten by insect can be replace.
If you replace a mouthpiece which is different from the previous one, It will leave trace.
Degradation over time
It is possible to change the tenon due to degradation over time of the relay
In this case, the tuning inside can also be re-tuning. If you do not blow for years, bamboo material also becomes thin, but if you often take care of it, blows it everyday, even if it is the old Shakuhachi, it can be used quite well though it depends on the balance of the sound. Old bamboo wood is not necessarily soft.
