Okinawan Traditional Japanese Instrument: Hon-Hebikawa (Genuine Snake Skin) Kyoka-Bari Sanshin This is made with genuine snake skin, not artificial leather. You can see fabric under the skin on the back, so it's likely Kyoka-Bari (reinforced skin). It's not Hon-Bari (full skin), but it's more resistant to tearing. It combines the best aspects of genuine skin Hon-Bari and artificial skin. The skin is not torn, and there are no noticeable scratches or stains overall. Position stickers are attached to the fret positions. The accessories in the photos are also included. No case included. Only the main instrument and accessories are included. There are no pets or smoking, so there should be no odor issues. It will be wrapped in bubble wrap and packed in a cardboard box for shipping. I'm sorry, but I cannot offer a discount.
