suikinkutsu recording
This is a recording of a suikinkutsu that was recorded on December 27, 2005 at a tea house in Daisen Park by Komura Jutaro. It is a clear and beautiful illustration of what the device sounds like.

 * Opinion It would be much better if the ah-aha-ah noise that seems to be made by some kid in the middle of the sound playing is not recorded together. Could it be reduce a bit by editing?--Caspian blue (talk) 23:45, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Like Shoemaker, I was also under the impression that the sound was that of a bird. Being an outside ornament, coupled with the fact that the bird's call isn't all that loud or distracting, I don't think this takes away from the clip's overall sound. --TorsodogTalk 14:38, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
 * With all due respect, I disagree. The first half of the recording was good, but the noise distracts me very much. I have heard of suikinkutsu sound, so well, I'd say if the noise is cut off or minimized, I would support the sound for FS, but no at this status. Many featured images are edited by photoshop or other programs, and why don't we try to edit sound like images?--Caspian blue (talk) 14:45, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
 * What would your propose that I do? Simply cut out the section in question all together, or attempt to minimize the crow's call? --TorsodogTalk 15:23, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I have edited the sound and changed the nomination accordingly. --TorsodogTalk 21:16, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, good job on it. Then I change my opinion to support.--Caspian blue (talk) 21:35, 2 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Support I think that's some kind of crow. And, well, these things are outside. I'd probably say it was less encyclopedic without the background noises of a Japanese garden. Shoemaker&#39;s Holiday (talk) 14:09, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Support. Soothing, lovely and most importantly (for the purposes of FSC) an excellent audio illustration of the topic (crow included). Vassyana (talk) 07:34, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
