7.5 Tenkan Blessing<\/a><\/p>\n

The tenkan which translates as \u201cheaven flute\u201d is a hybrid overtone flute created by Alcvin Ryuzen Ramos. It combines the mouthpiece and blowing subtleties of the shakuhachi with the circular breathing and rhythmic dynamics of the yidaki (didgeridoo). The 5 finger holes which are positioned towards the top of the flute and its length which starts at 3.9 feet and can be as long as 17+ feet! The length is what creates the wild harmonic frequencies giving it a very exotic, otherworldly tone quality. Orders accepted.<\/p>\n
