This is a Tsugaru-jamisen made of red wood. It was repaired at a jamisen shop this year and has been in use. It's ready to play as soon as you buy it. The neck width is just over 3cm at the fingerboard section below the milk bag, with two grooves of different levels. The body is a five-bu size round body. There are no gaps or looseness in the neck joints. There are no scratches or chips on the tenjin (headstock). It shows signs of use, but there are no noticeable warps. Please refrain from purchasing if you are a nervous person or a complainer. The jamisen stand is not included. This is an amateur assessment, so please consider this when purchasing.
