I feel like I don't have any lung capacity. Should I quit shinobue?

Q & A: "I can't make any sound with my first shinobue and feel very dizzy. I don't think I have the lung capacity. Should I just quit?"

Answer: When I first started playing, I felt very dizzy too, so don't give up! Your dizziness is likely not related to your lung capacity. What you actually need to focus on is using less air, not more. It might seem counterintuitive; after all, if you can't extinguish a candle, the instinct is to blow harder, right? But when it comes to playing the shinobue, using less air actually produces a better tone. I recommend watching this playlist to learn the basics. Playing the shinobue will become easier as you practice daily, even if it's just for 1-2 minutes a day!
