Markus Guhe

I am a shakuhachi player & teacher. In 2016 I received a shihan (master/teaching license) from the KSK (国際尺八研修館, Kokusai Shakuhachi Kenshukan; see here for KSK Europe).

I am also a member of the Mugenkyo Taiko Drummers, Europe’s only professional taiko touring group since 2013, where in addition to taiko and an eclectic mix of other instruments I also play shinobue. 

I regularly publish videos on YouTube, mainly tutorials on how to play shakuhachi and shinobue but also videos on related topics as well as performances of old and new music, where ’new music’ usually means combining shakuhachi with taiko and electronica.

I split my time between Edinburgh (Scotland) and Papenburg (Germany). I am available for performances and teaching both face-to-face and via the Internet.

For bookings or to arrange lessons please send me an email or contact me via the social media sites shown below.
