yes, yes. ill try someday... maybe all of my friend laugh at me when i play the symbol of old 'ohsu' town, located at the center of our nagoya city. it has a little bit funny meaning for us, not cool but funny. koto(japanese harp), syamisen(japanese 3 string banjo), and syakuhachi(japanese whistle) all are cool for us, but not cool about taisho-koto. i dont know whats the difference, maybe taisho-koto has short history and is for only ordinaly people. i know this instrument must have rights to be honored. -takeo
