I watched foam ramen shop video and shamisen playing at background. Remembered Yukari san playing. Glad this video still here. I wonder how she doing now
Technically speaking, in terms of humidity. Of course, the temperatures on Hokkaido are way below those of Holland. But if you skin your shamisen in, for instance, Tokyo or Osaka, and play it in Holland, it will rip in no time.
@SaraiS23 Yeah, I guess like any instrument they are breakable. The "drum" is the probably the most fragile part. It's sensitive to changes in humidity and temperature. I had one tear over summer. Nearly $400 (40,000 yen) to get repaired. The pegs that adjust the strings can also crack or break if you drop it. The wood is pretty solid, though. I have a tsugaru and yes, they are expensive. You can get a practice one made from lighter karin (quince) wood for $500 - $900.
Well, I can't deny that I have to help myself to cheap crappy shamisen stuff most of the time, I simply don't have the money nor the resources. I'll be in Tokyo next month, and I've been saving up. So I'm going to get a lot of the good stuff!
A bachi I would never buy second hand. I usually get my strings from Chords Canada. My teacher has a sweet spot on Hokkaido for skinning the shamisen, $300 and it's almost the same climate as Holland, so it's not too tight or too loose.
People are always surprised when I tell them about the price range of shamisen. Apparently, they think it's about the same as some $30 spanish guitar you can pick up at a depato. ;-)
they're expensive. I've got a "beginners" one made from Karin (quince) wood which cost about $800. My teacher is onto me to get something in the $3000 - $5000 range. A harder darker wood called Koki. (not sure what that is in English - Some kind of rain forest hardwood I guess. I'm in no hurry. I keep telling him: "Ishi no ue ni mo san nen."
u can import them and they start at 400 dollars for an okay one i remember looking on a site that had them when i first discovered this instrument, i still think its an amazing intrument
I think I've seen her at the Shamisen tournaments some years ago. I'm not sure though .her name is Yukari? I wonder if she will be attending the Tsugaru Shamisen Hirosaki tournament this year? If so I will look for her! I'm playing with the first international Shamisen group formed through the bachido website! It's going to be very exciting! Can't wait!! Well...hope Yukari is there! I'll say "Hi!" if I see her!

It's called a Bachi, it's a plectrum used to strike the strings. Hers is made of tortoiseshell and plastic.
muy lindo very well
@SaraiS23 They also come apart in three pieces for easy transport. there are grooved cuts in two places in the neck that allow you to disassemble it.
How cute and skilfull ! I would like to hear her in live.
Waaaii! Hariu-san wa Shamisen ga ii da yo!

@HECKproductions It's called a bachi and you need it to play the shamisen.
It sounds really good!

Cool! I love this video. Nice playing!
Nice.
Shamisen Hero 3 you heard it here first.

I don't know for sure, but I guess hers would be between $2000 and $4000. You can get an entry level one for about $400.
that was great.
good player!

It's the Japanese pronunciation of "encore".
Needs some distortion and some reverb, then she'd be rockin'.
If you want a plastic shamisen you have to go to a Japanese arcade hall! :-o
no i am pretty sure that it means congratulations
おめでとうございますの英語のいみはcongraｔulationsですねぇぇぇ

All that I could say is this:
Omigoto Yukari-san!
Ni nen kan? Two and a half? She's played since she was a toddler.
Tokoro de kanojo wa totemo kirei desu. ;)
you play beautifully...i love this! I've always wondering how much a shamisen cost? anyone know?
Asian powaaaaa!!!!
go to a site called "kotos and more"
@grooble ok thanks
@Ostplayer TH-cam user fiddlefella has videos on how to build your own.
Does anyone know any online shamisen dealers,? I want to learn how to play but kind of need one to start off with
ni nen kan yatteru so desu.
Encoru! Encoru! Encoru!
you can learn it in japan! Seriously. There are hardly any shamisen teachers anywhere else. and there are none in australia where i live
what is the thing called you pick the strings with?!?
and is it possible to play without it?
Are the shamisen's breakable, and what kind of shamusen do u have? I want to get the tsugaru shamisen, but their pretty expensive.
Lol, Japanese audience shouting "Encore!" Though I agree with the sentiment :)
される井戸!
A Tsugaru-jamisen type?
Sugo-i uma-i! Please can I marry you?
onegai ga arimasu, shamisen naraitaidesu.
$400 - $800
