Great video, just one thing; the koma is the bridge, the neo is the tailpiece. If I'm not mistaken those look like jiuta bachi. Coupled with chuzao, I'd say you're practicing jiuta style. 🙂 Koto has too many strings for my taste. 😅

I finally got a shamisen but it's broken. It needs to be restored. I got it for only 45 dollars at a local auction. The dou needs to be glued back together and it needs to be reskinned but at 45 dollars I think it's worth fixing. Quite a deal.

I'm learning Ukulele and Guitar (Started on Ukulele, currently better at Ukulele than Guitar right now). I want to learn Shamisen so badly but they're difficult to find at a good price in good condition. I first heard it as a kid in the “Wii would like to play” commercial. And I first found out it was called a Shamisen in the game Wii Music. (Also I've been learning Japanese since 2015.

I am going to hazzard to guess that you study Jiuta, mostly from your whole set up (koma, bachi, ect.)? I my self study Jiuta :D! It's interesting, In your performance I see that you don't really contact the skin. Is that because it's a contemporary piece? Anyways, always happy to see another person with a passion for Wagaku :)!

Lovely music at the end. Both the shamisen and koto are incredible instruments and I have a great deal of respect for the players-Though my favorite Japanese instruments might be taiko drums. One day I’ll have to learn 🥁

So should we watch the 2 year old video first or start with this one?

I guess for context that might be better but it's not super essential! Aha I cover a lot of the Shamisen basics in the previous video and you can also see an example of my playing after just a couple of months.
