Baliset Workshop in Hinohara Vol.2

Baliset Workshop in Hinohara Vol.2 was held on March 28th. to 29th. in Hinohara Village, Tokyo. 6 tapping players and 5 persons who are interested in tapping instruments came there. We had very good time.

Masa plays the Rapid Fire Bass with the NS(=Nisshan) Stick!

All axes in the Workshop. L to R: 12-string Warr Guitar with Roland GK-2A pickup(zebrawood, Banyu), 10-string Stick(polycarbonate, Masa), 10-string Stick(oak, HIKO), 10-string Stick(oak, Hige), Ztar(MiniZ, Toshi), 10-string Stick(teak, Banyu), 12-string Stick(oak, Hige), 6-string tapping instrument made by Masa(Masa) and 8-string Warr Guitar(ash, Banyu).

Higuma plays the Pasta Stick, which has much more strings.

Nisshan and Higuma plays French Bread Stick, which is soft and doesn't have any strings.So it is hard to play.

I hope you enjoy these pictures. If you want to see more pictures, go to the Hige's homepage or the TAPITAPI homepage( built by Masa).
