Second & low octave
Hello guys. Sorry if this question has already been done by others, but I haven't found anything about that. However, I wanted to ask the correct fingering to play second and low octave: can someone explain that to me? :-)
Thank you for your eventual response.

The site has a downloadable fingering chart. You could also look at nyokai.com/students/fingerchart.pdf

You could consider a Skype teacher in case you need help. Smile
Good luck with it!

Hi Kiku. I tried to ask Skype Lessons at an Italian Shakuhachi Teacher (the only one that I found), but he said that does not use Skype.
I also thought about asking foreign teachers, but I have problems with languages Very Happy

I'm not so lucky Razz

What is your language?
Italian I assume. Yes, I see an Italian quote as well on your posts. Smile
There are Spanish speaking teachers around... and I usually get by in Italy mixing Spanish and French, so I could help you too if you have a particular problem.
We will soonish get a list of teachers in Europe up on the ESS website.
I also think Brian Tairaku Ritchie speaks Italian...

Look up Tairaku here and send him a pm (private message) to ask if he speaks Italian and if he teaches on Skype. Smile
