This is a set of 2 high-quality Shō (a type of double-reed instrument) reeds, made from reeds from Utono, which have been air-dried in the shade for several years, smoked, and carefully crafted. ✨ Considerable scraping has been done, so it is recommended for beginners to intermediate players. Please let us know if you have any preferred finishing methods. A "zushi" (a type of reed-making tool) that is less likely to shift and fits well is also included.
