This is a biwa that my sister cherished. I'm not very knowledgeable, but I believe it's a Satsuma biwa. She used it for about a year, and then one of the strings broke, and she also lost a bridge. She hasn't played it since then, so I'm hoping someone who can play it or repair it will buy it. I heard it was quite expensive. Please take a look at the pictures and make your judgment. I don't know much about it, so please judge based on the pictures. m(_ _)m The plectrum also has some cracks, so please check the pictures. I plan to wrap it in bubble wrap for shipping. Please also check my profile.
