It takes Mozart to play one string. Rest of people either invent or use. Like me, using 10" Wusthoff so long it feels as fingertip. You just can't start hating your own fingertips!
But Hattori (do not confuse with Tarantino movie) makes me singing. And qUALITY Fujiwara is still under $100. IMHO, "Quality" Fujiwara (over $500) is good for Iron Chef Stadium. Put time on it and it will snap in your overachieving linesman's hands. Chip on bone or plastic board. Unless you love good stuff.. The way it sings..or jingles..then you feel that ceramic should be used for handles only..
