Everything was as described — reliable performance and solid materials.
For the discerning connoisseur: Shamisen with hard case
Product Details
A gem purchased for 300,000 yen at Asakusa Mikado over a decade ago.
I bought it because I wanted to play Dodoitsu (a type of Japanese song).
Medium-sized neck, Kokwood, can be disassembled into three parts.
Includes a cloth bag for the main body, a bachi (plectrum), and replacement strings.
It has been left unused for a while, and the skin has shifted slightly.
The body is not damaged.
The white parts you see are glue.
It can be used without problems after re-skinning.
The rest of the parts are almost scratch-free.
