Osaka, Sakuragawa Pick-up only This is a custom shamisen with a milk bag (tsuzumi) that is 2.7 cm shorter than usual. The torn skin on the front has been removed, and a hardened plastic plate has been applied, with a plastic-based remake sheet on top. The dog skin on the back was in good condition, so it was left as is. It's not quite a high-quality shamisen, but it's good enough to enjoy the atmosphere. The sound is soft, and the volume is slightly reduced, but depending on how you play, you can enjoy a pretty good sound (shamisen sound). I received this as a gift, so I don't know much about it. Please consider the bachi (plectrum) as junk, as it has been modified.
