Описание к видео 5-string Chikuzen biwa 五弦筑前琵琶 chikuzenbiwa

I just bought a beautiful old Chikuzen biwa last week and wanted to share it's sound with you, although it's difficult to capture with my camera. I play parts from Kurodabushi (黒田節) and Sakura Fubuki (さくら吹雪). I still need to adjust the frets on the biwa (and practice more!) so some notes are out of tune. I apologize! The instrument is made out of paulownia and kuwa (桑), Japanese mulberry, which is very hard to find these days. The biwa has been played by two other players the Asahikai (旭会) and is about 90 to 100 years old. I started learning Chikuzen biwa alongside the Satsuma about six months ago.
