Is this the shamisen made by Benya? if so, do you know where I could get info about it, because I can't find anything about the company or this particular instrument. Great playing by the way!
@TR1V05 Uhh... Shamisen made to play slowly? Wow, what century are you living in? there are old (slow) styles of Shamisen associated with the geisha or kabuki but for about the past 100 years Shamisen has been a shredding instrument.
Tsugaru style is often compared to speedy bluegrass banjo. All modern young players play very fast and energetic. That`s today`s standard so you seem to be about one century off in your cultural analysis.

sounding good is a matter of opinion. the debate below is therefore pointless.

Did you install a pickup in your Shamisen or did you buy it with a pickup?
