Currently, shakuhachis are only available in Muspar'i, Therengia. The Muspar'i instrument merchants are different from those of other cities in that instead of ordering instruments, and customizing them, they are more akin to wandering and festival merchants. All of their instruments are premade to exacting standards, already flashier than standard customizations.
