Hello, I came over from another thread.

I now have a Taishogoto - it seems very old and I may need to do some repairs, etc. It's very pretty :)

But my first issue is this:
It has no strings (arrived with one, which I quickly broke...oops)... I think it's a 5 string. What sort of strings do I need to buy?? And where from?
And is there a certain type of pic I need to use?

I'm happy to be creative with it as I'm just doing it for enjoyment.
