    Very nice, and different. Not an instrument I was familiar with before.

    Slightly related — I have been unable to ‘Like’ your posts, lately. This is across multiple different platforms on my end which I was previously able to use, so I suspect possibly a setting on your end. That so many recent articles still have 0 likes also tells me either that others are having the same issue, or they just don’t like you anymore.

        Shamisen is basically a 3 string Japanese banjo. Tho’ the akonting might be even easier, I think–its the kissing cousin of the banjo.
        Take a looksee:
