Sounds great Sascha! Can’t wait to hear it with a bachi.
Damn, you’re probably currently the most metal-looking shamisen player in the world!
… for now. 
You did a very good job, Sascha! I really like the tone, you put on the skin well. 
Looking forward to seeing what musical awesomeness you create with it!
Yeah, what Karl says. Let’s hear it with the bachi!
I love these construction threads. Absolutely adore seeing the before and afters. Wow, those itomaki are amazing, Sascha! Really cool looking! Great job!
