This blog is dedicated to the sublime instruments called nose flutes and which produce the most divine sound ever. We have chosen to discard all the native models from S. Pacific and Asia, for they need fingering to be played. We'll concentrate on "buccal cavity driven" nose flutes : the well patented and trademarked metal or plastic ones, plus, by a condemnable indulgence, some wooden craft or home-made productions.

Japanese « beginner' nose flute »

Some 9 months ago, we were wondering (in this post) if a japanese new plastic nose flute was somehow on the bench. We had found its pictures on Mr. katada's blog.

There is new info about this product, which is apparently produced on a regular basis now. On his Facebook page, Mr. Mosurin just displayed a picture of those plastic hanabue, and confirmed they are a beginner model, with dimensions especially adapted to women and children physiognomy. Sensei Mosurin uses them in schools to teach the art of the nose flute playing. We are impatient to try them.

    These nose flutes look like a really fine product, made from one piece of thick quality plastics! I particularly like the monolithic look of it, as if the mould was based on a stone or wooden original. The instrument has a nice ivory colour to it, making it look vintage, retro-style. It looks brand new, which is wonderful and appealing.

    This is an original, a true Japanese nose flute! I love the fact that the maker created several types, suitable to various face set-ups. How wonderful it is that these are used by a great player to teach children at school! All credits!!!

    Yes, these look quit nice. I like the idea of making a good playing nose flute for kids and beginners, as they do with recorders.

    I think the bocarina is great for both advanced players and beginners, but maybe these ones fill a niche for kids. Providing a quality and accessible inexpensive instrument.

    I wish I could get some by the dozen at good price in Mexico, so I could give them away like I do with plastic humanatones and kazoos.

      Ooops!, I meant "quite nice", not "quit nice".

      Those pictures are really nice indeed! They also reveal how the nose flute is put together of 2 slabs in a very efficient and smart way.
