I was reading about you on a forum and then got your youtube video and watched it. VERY cool man!!! I had seen that you might share your blueprints for your agil so i ask if the offer still stands and can I please have a copy. I understand the pitfalls of building "native" instruments. I used to make Native American style flutes. Being white, I caught holy hell for it sometimes. Zotcaneese@yahoo.com

so If a person was right handed would that person hold the bachi in the right hand and the shamisen in the other hand?

I like your version of Lady Gaga's song better than the original.
