Shakuhachi

A precisely tuned highly playable shakuhachi (japanese end-blown bamboo-flute) with lowest tone in C. I uploaded one stl file of the entire flute, one file in which I cut the flute into 5 pieces and files of the individual pieces for separate printing. There is a joint between piece 2 and 3. It may require some polishing before it fits. To connect piece 1 and 2 as well as piece 3, 4 and 5, polish the end faces somewhat and use epoxy to glue them together. The mouthpiece may also require some gentle sharpening with polishing paper. If the low notes don't sound properly try polishing the inner wall with polishing paper wrapped around a stick, this helps. It is modeled according to an original shakuhachi, it is highly playable, precise tuning and sounds great. I printed it in PLA with raft but no supports. Try glass or wood filled PLA for a better sound, but even standard PLA sounds good.
