Question 3

the string snapped / I am left handed / how do i deal with the string?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes, sh*t happens. Replacing a string can be hard but we will offer an unique stringing tool very soon that makes it easier than it ever was.    Our Kendamas are strung up for right handed people. 
There are no string holes in our sarado, so changing from right handed to left handed is a little different.  
Let us show you how it's done by this video:   soon to come youtube link
