Hello I 3d printed this 1 to 1 shamisen because buying one (even a beginner shamisen) would cost me around 350 euros I finally got the strings on and the fujako
But when I strike it it sounds nothing like it it sounds more like a guitar a really stuff guitar
Could anyone help here is a picture
What is the skin made of? How thick are the dou parts? That is a really thick kamikoma (the nut). You don’t have a asuma sawari or any sawari. That last one is likely the culprit.
The skin is plastic. The koma was included with the model
As for the asuma sawari I didn’t know I needed that
It is what makes the buzzing sound in a shamisen. Also just hard plastic as a Skin won’t resonate well with the strings. Are you aware of the Bachido discord?
Seeing how it lacks the traditional ridge at the tenjin. Your only option is a asuma sawari.
Also welcome to bachido!
Can I get an invite then ?
