Fittings & Parts
Building a shamisen yourself, or want to try adding some bling to your current shamisen? You’re in the right place! Currently, Bachido is the only online store to sell professional shamisen parts (like azuma sawari, for example), which are used in all high quality shamisen.
Note: If you have tools, all of this hardware can be made yourself with the instructions in Shamisen of Japan. However, for a small and important piece like the Azuma Sawari, you may find ease of mind of knowing the piece won’t fail is worth the price of professionaly hardware.
