Bamboo Flute
Bamboo Flutes are considered one of the best Feng Shui cures available.
Bamboo Flutes create strength and support, and give an energy push - the nodes
and root in your flute are the source of the energy originally sent throughout
the Bamboo plant, and represent this "chi" energy in physical form when hung in
your home.
Placement of your Bamboo Flute
For Feng Shui
purposes, Bamboo Flutes are generally hung by red cord with red tassels, with
the aperture (the hole blown in when playing) tilted slightly upwards. (As in
the pictures at the top of this page).
Your flute is the ultimate strengthening cure, and represents the qualities
of power, safety, peace, and endurance.
Hang it over the front door for security of your home, or use on exposed beams to counteract their debilitating energy. If you have slanted ceilings, a bamboo flute hung from them can keep positive energy flowing where it might otherwise get "stuck".
Place a bamboo flute near your computer or any other items generating electromagnetic fields that can be draining to your personal energy. The flute will counteract this with its powerful positive chi and leave you feeling vitalized even when spending long hours at your workstation.

Suggested retail $20.00 Now $7.99 Stock # 11915. About Shakuhachi (Bamboo Flute) The shakuhachi is certainly Japan's most well-known woodwind instrument. A vertically-held bamboo flute, it is made from the very bottom of a bamboo tree. Bamboo is hollow except for this nodes which are spaced at Intervals along the pipe. These nodes are knocked out to form the complete hollow length of the pipe. Four fingerholes are put on the front of the instrument and a thumbhole on the back. The mouthpiece is the open top of the pipe itself with the front side cut at a slight and angle to facilitate blowing the instrument. Although the placement of holes and tuning of the instrument is a very delicate process, the instrument itself is of a basically simple construction. It is this very fact, however, which allows for very complex techniques in playing the instrument such as the use of the breath with changes in the blowing angle for great or minute changes in sound quality, or partial-holding of fingerholes to make delicate pitch changes. The instrument takes its name from its standard length of one foot (shaku) and eight (hachi) parts of a foot (called sun), approximately 54cm. There are other lengths of the instrument as well, all with the general name of shakuhachi. |
