Rent a Shamisen
Buying a Shamisen outside of Japan is only possible by directly importing it. So it's difficult to get an affordable instrument as a beginner, to check if this hobby is worth pursuing.
For that reason, I'm offering various rental instruments with attractive rental conditions.
Min'yō Shamisen "Glico"
Available
A very good Instrument for beginners. This Shamisen is purposely made to accompany Min'yō Songs. It has a medium-thick neck and is very comfortable to play. However, it is only partially suited for the strong playing style of Tsugaru.
My very first Shamisen. I named it after the "Glico"-Man in Osaka, the city where I bought.

Tsugaru Shamisen "Sakura"
Currently occupied
A very good Instrument for beginners and intermediates alike. With a thick neck, it is completely made for the Tsugaru Shamisen Style.
It is also a very modern model: It's made of sustainable "Purple Heart" wood, has pink-transparent tuning pegs (Itomaki) and comes with a fitting guitar strap, so you can rock the house while standing!
Built by Tokyo Wagakki and not available to buy anymore.
