Care & Maintenance

To care for and maintain a shakuhachi, it's essential to handle it with care and keep it clean. After each use, run the cleaning cloth through your Shakuhachi. Do not leave moisture inside the bore. NEVER leave your shakuhachi in direct sunlight or exposed to heat for long periods of time. You can gently wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth to remove any moisture or debris. Avoid using any harsh chemicals that could damage the bamboo. Regularly inspect the shakuhachi for cracks or signs of wear and take it to a professional for repairs if needed. Proper maintenance will not only enhance the longevity of your shakuhachi but also ensure that it produces a rich, resonant sound whenever you play.
