Hi all - I recently purchased what I believe to be a Chikuzen biwa (not 100% sure). I am now in search of a proper bachi to play it with. If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate hearing them. I’ll also include a photo in case anyone can tell me if it really is a Chikuzen biwa. Thanks in advance!
Hello @robinhood
I am sorry, but that is a Chinese Pipa, not a Biwa.
It can be kind of played as a biwa, but maybe the higher frets could get in the way.
As for sourcing a Chikuzen Biwa bachi, please get in touch with Kyle using the website contact form, and inquire about it.
Kind regards.
Or talk to ginger beard on the bachido discord.
Thanks so much for your reply!
Will do, thanks so much!
It is Ginger_bard not beard
