Thank you for visiting. ・Made by Marusan Hashimoto (Marusan ㊂) Silk thread using the "highest quality cocoon thread" within the "Kotobuki Ito" series. This is "Gin-tsuki San no Ito" (Silver-coated Third String). It has a good sound. Recommended for "live performances and stage use"! Used for "Nagauta, Hauta, Kouta, and Minyo Shamisen" (traditional Japanese music). This is not a used item, but a "new" one, so there is no deterioration over time. (The freshness of the thread is vital.) "Shipping included," so I cannot offer a discount... ・If purchasing multiple items ・If purchasing with other products I would appreciate it if you could "comment in advance." Please feel free to comment with any "opinions or questions." #Shamisen #ShamisenThread #MinyoShamisen #Hauta #Kouta #Nagauta #Marusan...Shamisen
