I would like to buy one of those way cool lacquered Nitta doukake in your store for my nagauta shamisen. Will it fit? Thank you. 
Hey Lorraine, I’m sure Kyle and Masahiro can get that for you! They are likely very busy in Japan at the tournament right now though so they’ll get back to you soon.
Hi Lorraine
take a look at the Shamisen-Katoh-Website.
http://www.shamisen-katoh.com/
In the very first header-Picture you can easely make out the
different sizes of the dous. So i think for a nagauta or jiuta
you have to find other sized doukake.
I’m also looking for one, but for a jiuta-shamisen.
cheers
Ale
Thank you, Karl. Yes, I figured it might be a bit before they get back from Japan (envy envy!)
Ale, thank you! Yes, I see now that the sizes are different. Thank you - maybe when Kyle comes back from Japan, they can accommodate my littler shamisen, but it’s good to know for now that those sizes probably wouldn’t work. (Wow, what a great website - wish I read Japanese!)
