The most iconic quality of Tsugaru-style shamisen is the powerful nature of the performance. This intensity is what attracts many people to pick up the instrument for the first time and learn Tsugaru style.
However, many folks don't actually know what makes Tsugaru style sound powerful, and they will mistakenly assume that a powerful tone requires lots of power in the bachi strikes. It sounds logical, but it's not correct and often results in injured wrists and broken bachi.
A powerful tone comes not from adding raw power, but rather by focusing the momentum of the bachi swing in a very direct way. This yields a sharp percussive strike (which is the "powerful tone" people hear in Tsugaru style) with minimal power.
Save your strength for opening pickle jars, and take it easy with high energy percussive bachi strikes! Watch and find out how to do it!
