This shamisen is durable and suitable for workshops or lending to students. In organizing my mother's instruments, I'm offering this special shamisen with paper skin. I had it made by a skilled acquaintance. I hope it reaches someone who appreciates it. The price is set to cover costs, so I can't offer a discount... The Tsugaru-jamisen has already been sold. ★About the Skin It's made with a special paper stretched in the same way as traditional skin. It has survived: ・Being left out on a guitar stand in the living room ・Being stored in a cloth bag in a school music prep room ・Being stored in a cardboard box in a warehouse ・Accidental wetting and quick wiping ...and it's incredibly tough, even for a shamisen player. I've used several myself for years, and I've never had the skin crack, come loose from the edges, or become severely slack. I find it very useful, so I'd like to offer this paper-skinned shamisen to someone who needs it. "I want to use it without worry in workshops" "I want to leave it lying around" "I want to lend it to students in my class until they buy their own instrument" This instrument will be a great asset in situations where durability is required. ★Shamisen Specs ・Total Length: 98cm ・Neck Width Below the Milk Pouch: 2.7cm ・Body Size: Approximately 21cm x 19cm (measured on the skin surface) ・Sawari (buzzing device) ・Neck: Possibly Karin (rosewood), but unknown ・Wood Screws ・Kanberi (a type of joint) is visible.
