Yanbaru Yushi no Mi (Okinawan Sanshin) Recently re-skinned last month with honbari (authentic skin). Sunchi (lacquer) finish. Looking for a slightly unique shape? What do you think? It has a soft sound. That's my personal opinion. I think the price of both Kuroki (black wood) and Yushi no Mi (wood from the Yushi tree) from recent raw materials is about the same... Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about minor details. Please be sure to read the profile! If you're unsure, I'm happy to answer questions and offer advice.
