來自加拿大的信，寄給我在YouTube 洞簫頻道的信，
經過同意轉載其內容與製作：

Hi, Donsiau

I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your music.

I have written to the Cultural Affairs Office at the Taiwan Embassy in Ottawa, Canada, to try and obtain your CDs. The cost of postage from Taiwan to Canada is prohibitive for me I thought I would try this route.

I have downloaded your YouTube clips so I can listen to you play without having to go on-line, and I listen to you almost every day.

On October 24th I am going to give a short introduction talk at the Irish gift shop in our small village (pop. 1000) on how to play and make the Native American Flute and shakuhachi-type meditation flutes. it will be very basic and I do not pretend to be a musician nor a professional flute maker.

I am including you in my talk as one of the flute players of the world who I admire very much, along with Rodgrigo Rodriguez (lyrical shakuhach), and Native American flutists Scott August, Coyote Oldman, and Mary Youngblood (among many NAF players).

I also hope (if I get them) to have Dr. Stanley Fefferman of Toronto do some brief reviews of your CDs for my Log Cabin Chronicles on-line magazine: http://www.tomifobia.com. He is the editor/publisher of the on-line Showtime Magazine, based in Toronto. http://www.showtimemagazine.ca

Your mountainside studio is gorgeous -- such a good place for the soul.

This is a shakuhachi-style flute I made this summer from the stalk of a large sunflower stalk: 2 feet long, low "A"

他後續補充資料：

The flute came from one of these plants in 2009. This is my grandson Logan Mahoney of Beachburg, Ontario, then aged 9.

The flute is 615mm long, approximately 35mm wide at the mouthpiece, and the bore is approximately 25mm wide.
The outside finish is three coats of Bullseye orange shellac diluted with three parts of denatured alcohol to one part of shellac.

A = 216 Hz
C = 256
D = 288
E = 323
G = 384.9
A = 432

Please remember, I am not a musician. I am just learning how to blow ro and practice suizen. My Native American-style flutes, I just play from the heart.
I do not want to mislead you. I will be 75 this month and came to the flute very late in life.

If you come to Canada, I hope you will be able to give a concert somewhere in Ottawa, Canada's capital city.
It is only one hour from our village. and one of our four sons lives there.

Best regards,
John Mahoney
Cobdeh, Ontario

老師簫藝的奶O,真是無遠弗屆!藉著網路的傳送,天涯若比鄰!!

吹口很像北簫.
管身只有四孔,音域不寬,吹的應該都是當地的民俗樂曲吧!!

是五孔尺八音階,北簫吹口,奇木很有造型！

向日葵靠近根部的主干，应该是上漆的效果。老人家蛮有创意的。
