Japanese shakuhachi flutes for sale or trade - free lesson included

As a student of traditional Japanese meditative music, I have collected, over the years, many varieties of authentic Japanese shakuhachi. (A shakuhachi is a traditional Japanese flute made of bamboo, with roots in Zen Buddhism, Shinto, and samurai culture). At this point, I have more than I could realistically enjoy playing them all, so I've decided to start letting go of a number of them from my personal collection. The pictures attached show a few representative samples of shakuhachi I have (also a few pictures of performers/teachers and cultural representations of shakuhachi and komuso - the "monks of the empty void" lay monks who wandered about in feudal Japan playing for aims, spiritual practice, and at least occasionally a convenient disguise for ninja spies!). I have many more shakuhachi, of various styles, tone colors, and lengths. As each shakuhachi is unique, the best way for me to introduce you to the shakuhachi is to understand your aims with the instrument, then curate a sample from my collection for you to try out. If possible, please let me know what you are looking for in a shakuhachi - whether in terms of maker, length, type of music that you plan to play on it, desired tone colors, resistance, etc., or just your aim with the shakuhachi (performance, meditation, martial arts training, etc.). Also, your general level of experience/expertise (beginner, self-taught for X years, studied with teacher X, etc.) with respect to shakuhachi, or another woodwind (e.g. concert flute, saxophone), or even just any musical instrument you already have experience with. Feel free to be as detailed (or not) as you like. Any such info will help me to narrow down the list of possible shakuhachi that best may fit your needs. With its long history of different sects and their differing emphasis on aesthetics, performance vs meditation, etc., there is a wide variety to hand-made Japanese shakuhachi. Of course the shakuhachi are available for sale, but also I thought offering trade on Craigslist might be a nice way for both sides to get a fun new instrument without spending money (or much, if cash becomes involved in either direction for partial trades). Depending on your goals, you may be happy with a wooden one for about $160, or good bamboo ones made in Japan from about $250 and up. (I have high-end ones made by famous makers, as well - although I would not necessarily recommend these for beginners). I am a multi-instrumentalist (my main instruments are guitar and shakuhachi), so am open to a variety of instruments when it comes to trades. Please bear in mind I live in a small apartment in the middle of the city, so I wouldn't be able to consider say a concert piano or full drum set (although I'd be open to an upright bass - I miss my old double bass). If you do have something for trade, please let me know the value of your instrument(s). Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you. NOTE: If you message me and don't get a message back, please check your spam/junk inbox. I pretty much always reply, but Craigslist email system has a way of sending emails to spam/junk at unexpected times.
