Thank you for viewing this item out of the many products available. I am offering for sale one M-size bachi (plectrum/pick) for an Okinawan sanshin, purchased new from a sanshin shop in Uruma City, Okinawa. This item is made of Dutch water buffalo horn (pentagonal shape). It is very easy to play and produces a mellow, beautiful tone. I purchased three (one of which, this Dutch water buffalo horn, cost 5,500 yen including tax). I tried playing all of them, and this particular bachi produces a truly beautiful tone. It is almost unused, but since I have tried it once, it is considered a used item. However, there are of course no scratches or stains. This is the perfect size (M size) for those who are interested or are just starting to play the sanshin. Thank you.
