Hi,
A few years back my shakuhachi cracked and I was wondering if I had 'over cared' for it too much....... ie; let it get too wet.
I regularly put it away in a sealed plastic bag along with a damp piece of tissue which sometimes had some mold on it if left for any time.
And sometimes I would wrap it in a damp cloth which made the bamboo very dark and wet.
The shakuhachi was never left in the cold, however one warmish summer day I took it out doors to play and the next day it had split!
There was not a drastic change in of temperature.
Any ideas what I did wrong?
