The fingerboard includes a Tenjin Extension, which is a strip of wood which can be glued onto the tenjin before the shaping process. Both fingerboard and extension are sealed with shellac. Unlike the Pua Rosa fingerboards, these Rosewood fingerboards have ample margin, which means you don't need to be as careful about perfectly centered placement when gluing. Even if you're off center by a millimeter or two, you will still have amazing results after final shaping. -

Dec 2025 Update: The maker of Pantera Bachi are having…Dec 2025 Update: The maker of Pantera Bachi are having issues with quality control, so we are pausing sales of this bachi until they resolve the issue. Please check out the Faux Bekko Bachi for the next best thing! - Kyle Flex Options: Hard: This is very rigid, almost like Plastic Bachi, or cheaper bekko bachi. Only choose this if you are accustomed to hard bachi and especially prefer it. Medium: This is a similar level to the Faux Bekko Bachi, as well as most bekko bachi available. Soft: This is ideal for beginners. (Flex level has no connection to skill level – many professional players use soft bachi) Soft bachi are comparable to high end bekko bachi, as very flexible shell are reserved for expensive bachi. (Hard/Medium bachi can be high end as well, but it’s much harder to find natural soft flex in the lower price ranges) The extra flex makes it very comfortable to get a satisfying percussive snap against the skin, and unlike stiffer bachi, it doesn’t get caught in the strings as much. Masahiro Nitta’s personal bachi has a similar flexibility as this, and it’s my favorite as well. Size options: (Length x Width) Large 167mm×93mm Medium 164mm×88mm Small 161mm×83mm -

This koma is made from susudake (soot bamboo) and half bone top is expertly carved with three waves (or some might see fangs) curving downward. All of the bamboo/wood koma on Bachido sound great, but I particularly like this one for both it’s style and sound! Scroll below for sound test video! -

Important note: Previously we had accidentally shipped the dou (soundbox)…Important note: Previously we had accidentally shipped the dou (soundbox) with a larger sao. Not knowing they were mismatched, the customer innocently used their strength to jam the sao into the dou, cracking the wood of the bottom board (with the round hole). Needless to say, we sent them a replacement shamisen, and I repaired the dou in California. This crack is fully viewable on the last picture, so please consider it in your purchasing decision. Also, please note that the crack 100% fixed as it is fully filled and sealed with industrial strength super glue (it looks clear due to high polishing). With that said, the round hole has slightly widened, and you might want to wrap some paper around the sao spike (nakagosaki) to prevent it from wiggling. With all that said, the price has lowered to reflect this. Everything you need to play! Suitable for beginners and all skill levels.
