Hey people,
today has reached me my new Sanshin Shamisen. Now I watch at your crash courses. Now I wanted to tune the instrument and ask me now whether I can use the References Pitches also for the Sanshin or would be it better to be used one vocal device?
I apologise for my English. To speak in English easier falls to me than it to write. Still I hope that it is enough.
To me has also struck that the ichi-no-ito(first string) and the San-no-ito(third string) are changed. Is this Normally with the Sanshin Shamisen or should this be exchanged?
In addition I would still ask with pleasure whether I should also exchange the koma. As well as I have understood it in the crash course, advise you 8.1 mm of coma. The current one has about 10 mm.
Tuning for sanshin and shamisen is very similar, as both use a base tuning (Honchoushi, C-F-C, B-E-B, A-D-A). The other tunings are similar too, as they only change in name. Sansagari - or Sansagi on sanshin (e.g. C-F-Bb) And Niagari or Niagi on sanshin ( C-G-C )
Hi Elton,
Thanks for your answer already beforehand. Because I am new and considerable-inexperienced with the whole sepziellen things. Where the difference lies then between Shamiser and the Sanshin. I know at the moment only which I have a Sanshin Shamisen.
Hey over again,
I give sometimes a link purely from the Shamisen I have. It is a Sanshin Shamisen. I hope this more information gives you about that than I try to explain it.
The positions on the sanshin are different from the shamisen, because of the difference on the length. Shamisen neck is 100cm long and sanshin is 80cm, approximately.
