The yubisuri is probably one of the most underestimated and most ignored accessories when playing the shamisen. It\u2019s small, soft, easy to lose, and sometimes you don\u2019t even notice when you\u2019re not wearing it. But without a yubisuri, playing feels stiff and laborious. <\/div>\n

Yubisuri = Yubikake<\/h2>\n

The yubisuri is also known as yubikake. I also like to call it a \u201cfinger sock\u201d because it\u2019s easier to remember. The purpose of the yubisuri is to provide more agility when playing the shamisen. This small accessory prevents your hand skin from touching the neck while gripping positions, allowing your fingers to glide smoothly along the sao while playing. The yubisuri is normally worn on the left hand; on instruments converted for left-handed players, it is worn on the right hand. <\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.7.7″ _module_preset=”default”]<\/p>\n

A yubisuri consists of two elastic loops connected by an elastic bridge. Machine-made yubisuri are knitted, while handmade ones are often crocheted. <\/p>\n

models<\/h2>\n

There are basically two different yubisuri models, which differ in the width of the finger loops. The model typically used for shamisen with a wide neck (futozao) has two equally wide loops to provide more contact area on the neck. The other model has one very narrow loop and one wide loop: the narrow loop is for the index finger, and the wide loop is for the thumb. This model works well on instruments with a narrow neck (hosozao), because a wide loop on the index finger can accidentally touch the thin string and mute the note.
Personally, I make my yubisuri with a medium-width loop for the index finger. This gives me both agility and a large contact area on the neck. I don\u2019t hit the thin string, and my skin doesn\u2019t touch the wood. <\/p>\n

Wearing the Yubisuri Correctly<\/h2>\n

If the loops are different widths, the narrow loop goes on the index finger. For a yubisuri with equal loops, it doesn\u2019t matter which way you wear it. <\/p>\n

Hold the yubisuri so that you can see both loops from the inner opening \u2014 not \u201cupside-down\u201d like a hammock. You want to slide your fingers from the inside into the loops: <\/p>\n

The Right Size<\/h2>\n

Hand sizes and types vary greatly, so yubisuri come in different sizes. The loops should fit comfortably, like a cozy sock. If a yubisuri is too tight, it\u2019s often impossible to get your fingers in properly. If you manage to squeeze into a too-tight yubisuri, it interferes with playing because you can always feel it. Loops that are too loose feel floppy and distracting. <\/p>\n

The connecting bridge should be long enough to allow the hand to spread easily. A bridge that\u2019s too long feels cumbersome; a bridge that\u2019s too short restricts your span. This becomes especially noticeable in grips like 6\u20139 with the index and ring fingers, where the index finger really stretches backward. <\/p>\n

Personal Preference<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s no \u201cright\u201d or \u201cwrong\u201d when it comes to fit. Each player must find what feels comfortable and helps with playing. Personally, I prefer firmer, shorter bridges and snug loops, because I\u2019m distracted if the yubisuri moves. But many players feel restricted by tight loops. Like so often in music, it depends on personal taste. The most important thing is that you don\u2019t notice the yubisuri and that it doesn\u2019t distract from playing \u2014 and that you wear it the right way.
If you don\u2019t yet have a yubisuri or need a different one (or just want another color), you can find them at the Shami-Shop<\/a> (special small or large sizes can also be custom-made). <\/p>\n
