Tube Collective is a revolutionary new shakuhachi source.

The largest personal collection of shakuhachi in the west is now available for sale. This group of flutes represents several lifetimes of connoisseurship; bringing together the finest antique, vintage and modern shakuhachi in the world.

Our lineup has a particular focus on remarkable antique Edo-period flutes and jinashi shakuhachi.  Our stock also includes modern jiari  hand-crafted by many of the most famous makers to ever live, such as Miura Kindo, Kono Gyukosui, Miura Ryuho, Tom Deaver & Inoue Shigemi.

We carry high-quality flutes suited for every style: Kinko-ryu, Tozan-ryu, KSK, Myoan, Kyotaku, Hocchiku & more. We also stock entry-level flutes for beginners, solid gigging instruments for intermediate players, and unique items for the discerning collector.

All of our flutes come with an audition period and a money-back guarantee if they aren't right for you (less shipping).

We're adding more flutes from the collection regularly.
Check back soon for new inventory.
