You might check with Monty Levenson at www.shakuhachi.com/ since he is at least plugged into the Shak community. Maybe he will know where to refer you. Best wishes, David |

I see this is an old message, but it never hurts to have updated info. (^_^) You can get silk strings (all shamisen styles) from www.chordscanada.com. (They ship most places.) FYI, Monty Levenson knows them. |

Hi, sokyoku and everyone.
Thanks for looking at this old post, sokyoku. Do you have silk strings from chordscanada? I've wondered about their quality. I assumed it was good, but new strings haven't come up for me yet. What style shamisen do you play?
Best, and keep playing,
K.

Hi kyokuhon:
I have lots of extra shamisen strings, so haven't needed to purchase any so far.
I play and teach jiuta shamisen, and also play a bit of Tsugaru (but, I confess, nothing worth listening to yet.....<grin>!)

I know this is laaaaaaate but there is a store in Japan that has it's own website where they make and sell silk strings...problem is, I dont remember it. If I ever come across it! I will tell you.
