235-Japanese-Madake 4 Shakuhachi

The document provides measurements and calculations for a bore of an unspecified musical instrument. It includes the bore length, diameter at different points, finger hole positions as a percentage of effective length, and calculations of note pitches based on bore dimensions. Variations of 10% in hole diameter or 1% in distance to the acoustic top can cause pitch variations of about 10 cents. Tables show measurements for bores of different aspects ratios and jiari styles.

Aspect Ratio = Bore length / Bore diameter

Length = Aspect ratio x Bore diameter

Finger hole = Effective length x Percentage from embouchure

"Ideal" ratio = ~31


Variations of 10% in
the hole diameter, or
1% in distance to the
acoustical top of the
instrument cause
variations in tuning
of about 10 cents.
