Bachido Shamisen Crash Course

Premium Shamisen Course: Sakura

Premium Shamisen Course: Ringo Bushi

Premium Shamisen Course: Yasaburo

Important: This shamisen does NOT include any accessories required to play (no strings, plectrum, etc). Unless you already have accessories, please consider selecting The ShamiBuddy Accessory Set option for all the essential items required to make your shamisen playable. Otherwise, by selecting The ShamiBuddy Shamisen only, you will receive the masterfully built shamisen in an unplayable condition. The ShamiBuddy Shamisen Accessory Set consists of entry level items so users can get the most affordable option to start playing. If you'd like to select your own accessories (to get preferred colors, choose particular bachi, add extra strings, etc), please go to Essentials and choose the best items for yourself. Need help in curating your shopping list? Learn about the most essential items here! Note: A Bachido membership (free) is required to access the courses.

This fukuro intended for storing a shamisen which has been disassembled. It's pretty cool and I used to use it all the time, but it's not necessary if you're already storing the disassembling shamisen in a case.

This is one of my favorite types of cases to use when I travel locally, whether it be walking or driving to a gig, or taking the bus to San Jose to lead my group shamisen class. It is so light and easy to carry on my back, and offers just enough foam protection where I can feel at ease if it gets lightly bumped.
