8 hon choshi, Suzuki Plastic Shinobue "Douji" (Tuned to C major)
Suzuki produces highly recommended plastic shinobues by Japanese shinobue masters. They are perfect shinobues for beginners to see what it is like to play shinobues without much risk.
Affordable - A good bamboo flute costs more than $300 (plus shipping fee from Japan). Many beginners in Japan start with a plastic shinobue to see what it is like and learn the fundamentals.
Timely - Most good shinobue artisans have a waiting list, and you may have to wait months for your bamboo flute to arrive.
Easy to clean - Just clean with tap water and air dry (You can share it with family and friends!)
No urushi (poison ivy) lacquer is used.
I stand by the Suzuki quality - I have personally tried 3 other plastic shinobue brands, and Suzuki sounds the BEST. It has a lovely tone (especially 6 hon choshi), and it is easy to produce high notes.
Free shipping within the United States.
I played Xenoblade, Ghibli, Inuyasha song excerpts with Suzuki 6,7 & 8 hon choshi's in this video!
