Hello, I’m a brand new player. I have bought the shamisen starter set on bachido.
I have a Nagauta Shamisen with the synthetic Skin, a Plastic Bachi, a regular Yubikake, Doukake and Koma it came with, a few more Strings, a soft case and a few courses at the Bachido school. I currently store my Shamisen by wrapping it in a scarf and putting it in my Softcase.
Why am I telling you all of this? Because I am wondering if there are some things I should have, or could help me, that weren’t included in the starter set.
I am still learning how to play, so I don’t need anything that’s really expensive. But perhaps there are tablatures or certain books that I could need once I’m through those basic courses. Or another Koma or… something. You’ll know better than me.
I’m glad to be a part of your community. I’m looking forward to my shamisen journey. And I hope you are all doing great.
Best regards,
Hanzo
