Thank you for viewing. This is an electric phin purchased from a musical instrument store in Bangkok (not a souvenir shop). It has been used very little. In preparation for listing, I confirmed that it produces sound through a guitar amplifier. However, as it is handmade by local craftsmen, I feel that the following points are worth noting compared to electric guitars from famous manufacturers. Please keep these in mind when purchasing. * Because the structure is similar to an electric guitar, it uses string grounding to ground the strings. However, the noise when your fingers are not touching the strings seems to be greater than on guitars from famous manufacturers. This is a specification from the time of purchase. * The tuning pegs seem to be less robust than those of branded instruments, but please understand that this is a folk instrument. * The frets are not based on equal temperament. This instrument is for playing Thai traditional scales, so it doesn't necessarily align perfectly with Western music tuning. That's part of its charm. The dragon-like decoration (naga) on the head is fragile, so I will remove it for shipping. After arrival, please insert it and secure it with your own screwdriver (not included). Screws are included, so please be careful not to lose them. Although it has been used very little, please excuse any minor scratches from storage. As this is an unusual instrument and I am unable to provide support, I cannot offer a warranty except for fatal issues where no sound is produced. ＜About the Electric Phin＞ The electric phin, known as a Thai stringed instrument, is an electrically amplified version of the traditional phin from the Isan region of northeastern Thailand. Originally, the phin is a plucked string instrument with three metal strings, similar in structure to a guitar, and played by plucking the strings with the fingers. The electric phin adds a pickup to this traditional instrument, allowing it to be connected to an amplifier for loud volume and the use of effects. This instrument maintains the traditions of regional music, such as the morlam and folk music of northeastern Thailand, while also adapting to modern music genres like rock and psychedelic music, and has a unique sound. Groups like Khun Narin Electric Phin Band in Thailand, who electrify and play traditional phins, are also attracting attention overseas. Traditional tunings such as E–A–E are used, and it is played with a diatonic scale, but modern arrangements are also possible.
