★ Available for immediate purchase I bought this as a hobby, but I'm selling it because I no longer have the opportunity to play it. It has a separately sold dougake (body covering) attached. Made of wood and resin, it's very durable and requires no special care. The shamisen itself has no noticeable scratches, but the included bachi (plectrum) has fine scratches. Please understand that this has been stored by a private individual before purchasing. ▫️Features Suzuki's original shamisen uses a special synthetic skin. The skin vibrates very well, producing beautiful sound and exquisite resonance. This is a confident product from Suzuki, boasting a tone comparable to genuine leather. The special synthetic skin is made of a very durable material that can withstand harsh use. It can withstand even intense playing, such as the "tataki-hou" (striking technique) unique to Tsugaru-jamisen. It is also resistant to humidity and aging, so it requires no special care. ▫️Type Hosozao (thin neck) ※ Uses a nobezao (one-piece neck) (no joints) Made in Japan ▫️Accessories Shamisen body, small bachi KB-2, long bag, dougake (for Nagauta) ▫️Materials ABS resin (neck, tenjin - headstock) Wooden body (nato), synthetic skin Tetoron (strings 1-3)
