This Shamisen is gonna be a piece of work to build. Fortunetly, it’s gonna be a whole lot easier (and I mean a lot) since I watched this video of a guy making a Shamisen. After watching it, I found that a lot of it’s done by joinery. Not a nail involved. We took apart our shamisen and found out that it’s neck had been “joined.” It was amazing how tight and close it was. I knew this was gonna be interesting. I got a book of Japanese joinery (and American joinery for that matter) which was very helpful.
So anyway, I’ve been practicing a bit on that with a lot of scrap maple wood I got from this hardwood flooring store. He gave me enough to make a hardwood dancefloor for one person dancing “The Jerk.” I’m slowly but surely getting this joinery good enough where I can be semi confindent in making square holes.
That’s amazing! I have been wanting to learn to play the shamisen, but it is so expensive and very hard to find one here. I was thinking about making one. Could you tell me the name of the video you saw and if possible, where you obtained it and any other information you think I might find helpful? r4vn@yahoo.com
You have an outstanding good and well structured site. I enjoyed browsing through it
