Following this he studied the japanese bamboo flute Shakuhachi, first with Andreas Fuyu Gutzwiller (Basel), then with Satoshi Shimura in Osaka, Japan.

In 1998, Ueli Derendinger recieved the title of Shihan and the professional name Fuyuru from Shakuhachi master Kawase Junsuke III of Tokyo (Kinko school).
Although Derendinger gives many purely traditonal concerts, he is also inspired to improvise on the Shakuhachi.
