I want to start playing Japanese instruments, but I can’t afford expensive instruments. For those people, I will introduce four types of Japanese instruments that can be purchased online.

・Shakuhachi
The price range of Shakuhachi varies, but you can purchase a plastic Shakuhachi “Yu” 1 shaku 8 sun for about 16,000 yen. It is an instrument for beginners.

・Okinawa Sanshin
You can buy it for around 19,000 yen (with a case) at the lowest price. Unlike violins and other instruments, many beginner-friendly instruments have good sound quality.

・Ryuteki
Ryuteki is a traditional Chinese instrument with beautiful sound and unique resonance. It is an instrument used in Gagaku. It is sold by ZENON for about 5,400 yen at the lowest price.

・Shinobue
It is an instrument often used in Japanese festivals. Regarding SUZUKI’s Shinobue, the price range is wide, from about 1,400 yen to about 10,000 yen. Shinobue is a traditional Japanese instrument with beautiful sound and unique resonance.

In this way, you can enjoy playing Japanese instruments with cheap instruments. If you play with all your heart even with cheap instruments, you will surely produce wonderful sounds. I wish you good luck!
