Minyo Panda Bachi M/L

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 but in fantastic condition. The bekko corners have a dark caramel color. The corners show very little signs of use.

With a weight of 104 g, this bachi is lightweight.
