how much did you get your shamisen?

What do you mean? How much did I pay for it?

when you bought yours did it come with the dots and were do you buy the music books

Well, I made one, so thus, no numbers were included ;-) (though I made the 3 piece kind of neck, which makes a near-invisible crack on the 4th "fret")

However, the very first shamisen I played was one I borrowed from a friend, and yes, there were numbers along the whole thing.
