Details
I am not the only person referring to this kind of bachi as “panda bachi” although it is not the official name for it. Whatever you call it, I think it’s a fantastic alternative to a full bekko bachi, because it is so much more affordable and also uses smaller amounts of bekko while still yielding the bekko sound. I also like the look of it!
The blade of this panda bachi is sturdy and the tips are nice and firm. This bachi is pre-owned and has some bug marks (see pictures). The bekko corners have a dark caramel color. The corners show no signs of use.
With a weight of 112 g, this bachi is pretty lightweight.
This type of bachi is usually used for Minyo style, but can also be found among Nagauta players.
