("No Tuning") The Shirabe piece that contains no tuning at all is called Mu-Shirabe. It comes from the Kanto region of Japan, and although it was originally intended solely for testing the capabilities of a hocchiku, it eventually evolved into a Shirabe piece. The piece is called Mu-Shirabe because it contains no melody or theme. It is strictly for training the breath and fingering techniques. A 2.45 shaku hocchiku was used for this piece. | ||
