Does a Hososao Tsugaru Shamisen exactly sound like a Nagauta Shamisen?
Basically a Nagauta shamisen built for Tsugaru Style (?)
Please link the auction listing so I can investigate the dimensions. In the future, it is helpful to do that from the beginning.
Calling something a “hosozao tsugaru shamisen” doesn’t mean a lot. You need to know the dimensions of the instrument to guess at its sound character.
Edit:
Is it this on Ezofuji?
That’s the one. No dimensions though
@Masahiro_Nitta would be better able to answer this question, given that he is the seller.
However, notice that the listing is for a hosozao shamisen, not a nagauta shamisen. Those are different things.
The former is a class of neck which is generally associated with a few different genres (depending on who you talk to), and the latter is a specific type of shamisen and genre of music.
