    :About Nohkan
    The Nohkan is a high pitched, Japanese transverse bamboo flute, or fue (笛).
    It is commonly used in traditional Imperial Noh and Kabuki theatre.
    The nohkan flute was created by Kan'ami and his son Zeami in the 15th century,
    during the time when the two were transforming the Noh theatre forms Dengaku and Sarugaku.
    It is characterized by consisting the narrow part by fitting a bamboo tube called 'nodo' between "utaguchi" (a mouthpiece) and the nearest finger hole. This part prevents from forming resonate mode and enables to get the original scales which differ from all sorts of Japanese ones, not to mention the temperament in the West,
    as well as an extremely high pitched sound called hishigi.
    See below for a sample of Noh music
