I’m looking for a Bachi (the flexible ones) to buy.
Are there any (members) there (that have extra ones) are willingly to sell one of theirs. Or know any site that don’t sell them very expensive.
I looked on the stores site (bachido.com) it’s almost $300.00
Not sure if that how much they really cost because if they do - it must be a very good upgrade to switch from plastic bachi.
Hi Kevin,
Investing in a flexible bachi was one of the best improvements to my shamisen experience. You can see my explanation of bachi types in the “Know Your Shamisen” section of the Shamisen Crash Course.
It so costly ($300.00) on the bachido.com (store) it costs exactly like my Shamisen. Then again its a big upgrade compare to the plastic. What about the koma - I have a somewhat plastic one that painted fake wood.
Oh yes, bachi are quite expensive. They range between $300~$1000+. Midrange shamisen are over $1000, so you got a great deal on your shamisen. 
Koma upgrade can improve the sound of natural skin as well. Koma with tortoise shell tip gives a warm sound, and koma with a ivory tip gives a sharper sound.
