Fun little progenitor to the Japanese Shamisen. Check it out!

That was pretty cute! I see three tuning pegs, but only two strings. What's up with that? Somehow your voice, with its unsteady intonation and all, goes very well with that instrument. I found it charming and well worth the listen. Thanks!

Thanks so much man! There are three strings on it, but one is made out of clear fishing wire. The reason is that when I bought the set it came with three spare string sets, but the high C string kept breaking while tuning. I didn't have the money to ship new ones from Japan, so I bought some fishing wire, and it actually works quite well.

Thanks for listening as well!

I enjoyed it very much. I had one of those Cordobas you have and loved the low g on it. I used mellow ones with wound 3 and 4. Keep on singing and strumming.

PS: I just visited your YouTube channel and subscribed....officially your newest fan.

Thanks so much for the listen and subscribe, Phil!
I also sometimes string my Cordoba low G style. It's low tone is incredible.
