Did anybody tried to make one or seen one?
I currently have skinless shamisen and thinking to create a partial deck with koma to hold the strings and provide the surface for the bachi strike. Maybe even cover partial deck with cloth so it looks like a real skin from far away.
Any thoughts?
Best regards,
Alexey

). I think Remo’s claim of 90% noise reduction is overblown but it definitely reduces the loud percussion to neighbor-friendly levels. It will be interesting to see how something like that works on a shamisen.
