    I must admit, this is my absolute favorite koma. It’s both great sounding and a gorgeous work of art. 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!

    The Bachi Case is a classy way to keep both your bachi (plectrum) and koma (bridge) safe and secure. This exquisite case has the capacity to accommodate two bachi while also providing ample space to house up to eight koma (depending on the width). It's a very elegant and stylish way to keep your accessories protected, we've got a wide variety of Bachi Cases to choose from!!

    This is a very special set of ito made by Marusan Hishimoto Co. (the most trusted maker of shamisen strings, and the only brand of string I sell in the Bachido Store) In the Tsugaru Ito Set - Black all strings are dyed black and look very striking against a white shamisen skin.
