And David van O., that's interesting about the pitch on the shami.
I've never dared take mine beyond B on the Tsugaru, and I've used nylon
on the chuzao. I'll have to check the string length when I get home.
Best to all, and keep playing.

Land of the Fish, Japan. My teacher kindy gave me her instrument,
and
with it a whole load of strings, to last me a life time. But there
are
shops galore in Japan that supply silk to shami players. It's quite
a
fad these days, shamisen playing. Mostly Tsugaru, but still.
David - will play shami in Gijon this Summer. Beware ...
