Tiny Shamisen that Nitta San is playing in this video?

Where can I get one of these??

The video says it’s a Ko Shamisen, but it seems to be much smaller than a ko Shamisen from what I can tell. I’d love to get my hands on one of these.

You can get it in the Bachido store at this link:

scrolldown and you will see the KoShamisen

Thanks, Ajmal. I saw those when trying to find info on the KoShamisen, but the one in the video I posted still seems to be a bit smaller than the two shown in the videos and photos on the Bachido Shamisen page. It’s almost Mandolin sized.

The KoShamisen in Nitta-kun’s video was the KoShamisen 1. The video was made before the KoShamisen 2 was made.

Looks can be decieving

Sorry. My mistake. You will have to ask Nitta-kun through Kyle Abbott:

Hi Kyle A!

Oh yeah, that shamisen is much smaller than the KoShamisen. (The KoShamisen at Bachido Store has a deeper, more resonant tone than in that video, in my opinion) Nitta san said that special KoShamisen in the video was a gift from a family friend.

Here’s Kevin with the current KoShamisen.
