Looking for UK - Based Shamisen Repairs

Hi there!

I’m preparing to take the leap and buy a shamisen to start learning (after about a year of putting it off in case my ADHD decides I don’t want to learn anymore).

I’m a little bit terrified of being clumsy and damaging the poor instrument as I’m starting out and getting the hang of it all, so was hoping to have an idea of where I could look for repairs before I’m panicing!

I’m certain the Bachido repairs are excellent, but the extra costs involved in shipping to the US and back on top of repairs make me very nervous, so was wondering if anyone else in the UK has any experience with repairers over here they could share?

Do you have a discord. That can help of you are planning on getting a second hand instrument. The people over there are more than willing to help you make the right choices. They also know.alot about repairs.

Hi @Gioll
As Mark said, on Discord it’s much easier to find quick support.
Depending on the repair, maybe @Cana_Rochbell can help?
