Re: Deadly Flutes
I thought that was common knowledge? In fact, I always thought that the bodhrán was developed as protection against flute attacks?

That explains why when I bring out my flute people start running!

Re: Deadly Flutes
Aye, but what key's it in ? And would it be any good against the Glasgow martial art of "F#k Yoo Too" ?
Wasn't there a "ninja" flute posted up here a few years ago ? I'm sure someone could find it.

Re: Deadly Flutes
I was under the impression that the reason Shakuhachi were traditionally made from the root end of bamboo was because it was extremely tough, which allowed the flute to be used as a weapon in a pinch by the wandering "Priests of Nothingness" following the banning of carrying swords in Japan.
Not sure I'd want to beat someone over the head with a well made Shakuhachi mind - those things are expensive, whereas skull x-rays are cheap......

[nitpick] That bad boy may have spent time in Japan, but it ain't no way Japanese. Also, its pointy bit is no defensive weapon: you have to take the time to unscrew the cap. "What? You're mugging me? Hold on just a bit, would you?" *fiddle fiddle* [/nitpick]

Like I said, it's no defensive weapon, pointy-wise. You can take the time to get it apart and then go off to poke holes in people, but if you're being surprised, odds are you're left with just your basic stick-type object unless you're good at evading getting clocked while you unscrew it. Too complicated for when you're idly out and about the town.

Since you obviously haven't had enough, I'll also point out that a threaded endcap like that is a direct inheritance of Western tech influences. No self-respecting actual ninja-ish type would have designed it so. At most it should disengage with a simple twist and pull. So, strictly speaking, it's a mono-tasker: for offense only, and at one's sinister leisure. Not very sporting in its concept, if you ask me. Pretty, though.
