I was very sad to learn today via Facebook of the death of shakuhachi master Ronnie Nyogetsu Reishin Seldin. His friends and students began posting news of his death since yesterday.
He was my teacher and sensei in Shakuhachi traditional bamboo end-blown flute, and it was wonderful, awesome, and challenging learning to play from a Shakuhachi master and legend.
He will be greatly missed, and such a great loss to the Shakuhachi world, particularly to his many students and friends in New York state and DC.

Randy Stenzel Passed Away
I am so very sad to learn this evening that flutemaker Randy Stenzel, Feather Ridge Flutes http://www.featherridgeflutes.com/, died today Monday 16 May 2017 from complications of lung cancer. My thoughts and prayers go out to him and to his wife Shelly and their family. He was a kind and wonderful human being, and an incredibly skilled and creative maker of Native American flutes. I will miss him very much.
