Special Bonus!
To help you get started with your new Beginner’s Shamisen, I am including several learning materials for free!
- 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
The Beginner’s Shamisen Accessory Set option for all the essential items required to make your shamisen playable. Otherwise, by selecting The Beginner’s Shamisen only, you will receive the masterfully built shamisen in an unplayable condition.
The Beginner’s Shamisen Accessory Set gives users the most affordable option to start playing. The set consists of entry level items, but does
not include
Koma and
Bachi. Those two items are required, and because there is a wide variety of excellent
Koma and
Bachi available, they are available outside of the set so users can choose the exact
Koma and
Bachi they prefer. If you're planning to get the Beginner's Shamisen Accessory Set, be sure to grab a
Koma and
Bachi too!
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.
