I need to know what you actually get with the beginners shamisen. I’m trying to figure out how much it will cost for a full, ready to play, shamisen set up.
If anyone could help me I’d really appreciate it.
it is just the shamisen. no strings, no bridge, no tailpiece, no bachi, no finger sleeve, no case. there is a “beginner shamisen accessory set” for sale in the store with many of thes things but not all of them.
that being said, shipping from japan right now it suspended indefinitely at least to the US. i would highly recommend looking locally or trying to find a seller that is not in (or sourcing from) japan.
I did originally look locally but the it seems a bit of a challenge to find shamisen and accessories in the UK.
Thanks for the info, it gives me a better idea on how much it will all cost.
