bachi plectrum

the shamisen, guitar-like lute instrument has unique sound 

"ben ben ben...." 

that's how people describe the sound of shamisen 

bacuse it is played with a large pick called the bachi 

in the shape of a spatula 

"ten ten ten...." with my bachi somehow 

that's why i call myself "ten ten" 

what if my shamisen started sounding like "tien tien" or "len len"?
