battle theme! so intense!

Another reason why Japan is awesome; how many other countries have produced traditional instruments that you can throw up the metal horns to?

[@zygmuntnowak8400]

Mongolia maybe?

Jeez, that biwa bachi is HUGE... How do you achieve any sort of precision with that?

[@EldritchXD]

I want the Biwa ps this is music to my ears 😀😀😀😀

[@mysticshay1460]

same

[@dexyeappen5277]

I love the sound

[@chantellewood9473]

Really excellent playing

[@pradoxmediaful]

Hey Shamisen demon! Do a 5th caprice cover =D keep up the good work ;D

[@Eric19401]

I like that you can really jam on either instrument. Both have a fuller, richer sound than an American banjo IMO.

[@chip5881]

this is cool, reminds me of a battle, and the main charter is kicking butt

[@L4dyN1ghtr04d]

It sounds amazing ~ does someone know the name of a japanese instrument wich is played like a cello? The pose is similar... I think O: anyway beautiful instruments, keep playing guys!

[@zygmuntnowak8400]

Like a cello? Maybe kokyu?

[@dustinmccollum7196]

No it's a biwa

[@gabeburch8234]

(I know this comment is 10 years old but....) You could be thinking of an Erhu, Chinese bowed instrument.

[@icewinSicily]

erhu

[@mysticshay1460]

biwa

[@JJordan490]

This is the greatest of beats right here

[@wisearcher1617]

That's so Amazingly intense.

[@juukame]

this music makes me feel so pumped!

[@mysticshay1460]

I LOVE IT

[@DREAM3.0-]

Playing it during a samurai fight 💀💀💀

[@marvinthemaniac7698]

I couldn't hear the shamisen, but the biwa was loud enough.

[@AymanSussy]

The sharp sound of the shamisen is clearly hearable

[@marvinthemaniac7698]

@@AymanSussy that was the only part of the shamisen I could hear.

[@pradoxmediaful]

I didn't know about this instrument. It looks like a chinese pipa.

[@s-a-r-a-h]

The biwa was based off the pipa

[@ikunlailou]

The Chinese lute called pipa.The Japanese lute called biwa.The Korean lute called hyang-bipa or dang-bipa

[@Particelomen]

I wonder why he is using a heike bachi with a tsugaru shamisen?

[@L4dyN1ghtr04d]

@BirbiriChan Thanks a lot for the info it's good to know.

[@sanatoki]

@L4dyN1ghtr04d I'm taking a guess but maybe the erhu (二胡) although it's not Japanese, it's Chinese.

[@Carlitos714]

freaken awesome!

[@mikepenny01]

Greatness.

[@VampolkaXL]

May I ask where you boys found these instruments?

[@arandomguyontheinternet9057]

the emperor gave them

[@manymomath5466]

It’s pretty hard to find them, they are very expensive and pretty hard to play.

[@apeapeape999]

@L4dyN1ghtr04d You might be thinking of kokyu. That's the only thing I can think of.

[@SoulSecureOfficial]
