From the kan'yōyomi of the 撥 kanji spelling, in turn a shift in pronunciation from the regular kan'on reading of hatsu.^[1]

First cited to the Wamyō Ruijushō from 934 CE.^[2]

• (Tokyo) ばち (Odaka – )^[3][4][5]
• IPA^(key):

桴(ばち) or 桴(バチ) • (bachi) 

1. 桴, 枹: a drum stick for instruments such as the taiko and gong, a percussion mallet

   Synonym: (see below) 桴 (buchi)

2. 撥: the plectra or picks used to play the biwa lute and shamisen
3. 撥, 桴: in 雅楽 (gagaku, “traditional Japanese court music”), the plectra or picks used to play the biwa lute and shamisen, together with the sticks and other objects held by the dancer in 舞楽 (bugaku, “traditional Japanese court dance”)
4. (traditional Japanese shipbuilding) a metal chisel mallet (from the general resemblance in shape to a gong mallet)

Shift from bachi above, possibly influenced by or otherwise related to nominal form buchi of verb 打つ (butsu, “to strike, to hit”), itself a shift from utsu.

First attested in 1650.^[6] This pronunciation of the term appears to be falling out of use, and is not included in modern pitch-accent dictionaries.^[7][3][5][4]

• IPA^(key):

桴(ぶち) • (buchi) 

1. (archaic, possibly obsolete) a drum stick for instruments such as the taiko and gong, a percussion mallet
