Japanese Traditional Music [8] - Shamisen

ShamisenA three-string plucked lute from Japan, since the 17th century a popular contributor to all forms of folk and art music. Standard tunings are b-e′-b″, b-f#′-b′ and b-e′-a′. The shamisen is played with an ivory plectrum; its distinctive sound is caused by a cavity in its long neck which allows the lowest strings to vibrate against the wood.
