CHIKUSING Shakuhachi Cap

Home of internationally recognized, American and Japanese government supported professional shakuhachi flutemaker, Perry Yung.

"Hi Perry, You’re an eBay Giving Works super star! - United States Fund for UNICEF. We wanted to take a minute to thank you for your generosity. Your dedication to making the world a better place with eBay Giving Works is truly appreciated. Keep up the fantastic work! - Best, Kristin Cunningham, General Manage - eBay Giving Works & Sean Milliken, Executive Director - MissionFish"

This auction is for one handmade CHIKUSING leather Shakuhachi Utaguchi (blowing edge) cap. This one is made for the standard 1.8 length that is measured around 1 3/8" across the top blowing edge. The default colors are black or brown and available in three different sizes to fill all lengths and shakuhachi instruments. Please specify if you require other sizes. I designed the Chikusing Cap around 1996 after a leather cap I saw from one of my shakuhachi mentors - Yukio Tsuji. I designed these to be adjustable and form fitting. I have since made them available through out the world and I am happy to see other makers now using them. Because international shipping for this item is more than the cost of the flute, I posted the design on the Shakuhachi Forum. Feel free to visit for more information on my CHIKUSING Cap

Each a work of art and will conform to your flute in a short time like a baseball mit to a hand.

The back.

Sturdy, quality craftsmanship honed from 10 years of handling and understanding different kinds of leather. These are the best for Shakuhachi caps.

"I'm beginning to think that that Mozart dude really didn't have a clue, and that Perry Yung is really the Magic Flute person everyone should know about!" - ringotani, music teacher, band leader, Positive feedback 100%

"Thanks for sharing your design with the world Perry" - Brain Tairaku Ritchie, Jun Shihan Kinko teacher, player and professional musician, Violent Femmes.

About Perry Yung

  • Member of the International Shakuhachi Society
  • Guest moderator for the International Shakuhachi Forum.
  • Recorded shakuhachi sound tracks for Internationally released films, Independent films and PBS documentaries.
  • Recipient of Japan - US Friendship Foundation and International House of Tokyo Artist Grant (National Endowment for the arts).
  • New York Council on the Arts
  • Ear to the Ground - Jerome Robbins Foundation Grant

    In 2002, I received combined grants from both the Japanese and American governments to live in Japan to specifically study shakuhachi making. I studied crafting under Kinya Sogawa who was a live-in apprentice to Chikusen Tamai, the famous maker who apprenticed Hoshi Bonchiku, Yamaguchi Shugetsu, Tom Deaver and other professional Japanese makers today. Kinya also studied shakuhachi music under Katsuya Yokoyama, who studied under Watazumi himself. My understanding of making and playing evolves daily. I see that it will take a lifetime (or more) to master this wonderful and unique instrument. Visit my website at yungflutes for more information on shakuhachi flutes, playing, history, making, and repairs. If you bought a questionable shakuhachi, I will be glad to evaluate it for no charge. I specialize not only in making professional grade shakuhachi, but also repairing and restoring all levels of shakuhachi instruments. It is my extreme pleasure to serve the international shakuhachi community. Feel free to visit my YUNGFLUTES website at the usual internet address or Google Perry Yung for much more information. It would be my extreme pleasure in helping you discover this wonderful flute.

    I stand behind my craft 100%. All my instruments come with a 30 day audition. If you are not completely satisfied you can have an exchange or money back.

    Shipping

    International shipping for this cap will be be processed within one week because I only go to the post office physically once a week. This keeps your international shipping cost down. The minimum for international mail pick-up is around $27. The international flat rate cost for this cap is $8. Doesn't get cheaper than this for international mailing.
