PURCHASING BACHI

Kashi (oak) bachi can be purchased at Asano Taiko US. If you prefer a slightly more lightweight wood, you can purchase kaede (maple) bachi instead.

The photo gives available sizes for kashi bachi. The length and diameter depend on the length of your arms and size of your hand. For reference, I use the 2.25cmx39cm bachi.

Recommended sizes are circled.
