Beautiful Condition Okinawan Sanshin - Traditional Japanese Musical Instrument, Ryukyu Stringed Instrument, for Practice or Display This is an Okinawan sanshin that was at my parents' house. The body has no scratches and I think it's in very good condition. I believe it's made of real skin, but I'm not an expert, so please understand this before purchasing. I tried it with a guitar pick and it sounded good. *It is not tuned. You can find tuning and practice methods on YouTube, etc., so please look them up. It will be shipped wrapped in bubble wrap and placed in a recycled cardboard box, but the packaging method may change.
