Subject: RE: shakahachi scale measurement
G'day Bob, Bruci, foolestroupe et al,
                      I hadn't realised that making a shakahach was quite so erotic. What with nipples, fipples and labia and the rest.
Just to reassure you all, I've already done my bit for the labia party this morning.
Anyway. What clues does anybody have about forming the labium? Is there a preferred angle?.

Bob, I dropped into the hardware this morning and stumbled on a piece of black, (BLACK!) pva. I'd been wondering where to turn up a piece so I didn't end up with a grotty grey, white or orange one.
Not only was it black, but it was a transport sheath for some piece of equipment. They Gave it to me.

I've just spent the last hour fippling around with a piece of copper junction force fitted into a suitable size piece of PVA, so that the mouthpiece is removable, but thus far I'm not getting a tone.
Any advice greatly appreciated. Good health, Jack Halyard.
