Yes, a lot different to a recorder, or any other fipple flute, but similar to a quena. Quenas are easy enough to get a note out of , but to actually play a melody on one , I find a bit difficult. I reckon the added difficulty with the shakahuchi is because of the volume of the bore;- quenas ---even the bigger ones---are tiny compared with a shakahuchi.

Actually, one of the Indonesian flutes is a bit like these flutes too, but on these there is a band of rotan placed over the top of the fipple and that assists in keeping the column of air consistent.

First let me complement Rick on the repair he did, it did come out just fine.

What I wanted to show other forum members, is a wrongko severely damaged that were restored by the best of the best.

I must admit that I had given up on doing anything with it, and was prepared to commision a new one, when I was told that wood of that quality is hard if not impossible to find, and that it indeed were restorable as is, to my big surprise.

I will be posting the "before" photos in this post and the "after" in a post following this one.

I also invite your comments!

I have seen and handled this piece first hand and the work is most impressive.
Thank you Naga Sasra for the compliments on my poor attempt.

Wow!!!

Boy would I love to read about some of the techniques employed in that repair.

Did you have all of the original broken pieces?

Thanks for posting those wonderful pics.
