Premium Spotted Madake Bamboo Poles for Shakuhachi, Xiao & Flute Making
Carefully selected spotted Madake bamboo poles (Phyllostachys bambusoides) for professional shakuhachi making, Xiao flute making, and other traditional bamboo instruments.
Each pole is selected for its dense fibers, natural spots, elegant smoked color, visible bamboo oil, and excellent instrument-making qualities. The bamboo is fire-treated, hand-straightened, protected against cracking, and naturally seasoned for over 3 years for improved stability.
