This set includes all of the basic essential items required to set up a Tsugaru Shamisen. It is comprised of the most affordable accessories we have, just as an option for people who aren’t sure what they need, don’t care about item colors, and just want to start playing right away. If you’re able to, I highly recommend curating your own set, as you will certainly have a better playing experience by investing in a higher quality bachi (plectrum) or koma (bridge).
Please note, there’s a difference between “Tsugaru” as a playing style and “Tsugaru Shamisen” as an instrument. While you can play tsugaru style on any shamisen, Only Tsugaru Shamisen can fit Tsugaru Shamisen accessories (Tsugaru Doukake – the arm cover – won’t fit on Nagauta Shamisen, for example) If you aren’t sure if your shamisen is a Tsugaru Shamisen, please feel free to send a picture of your shamisen to store (at) bachido (dot) com and I’ll happily verify it for you. :)
