This is a shamisen that belonged to a family member. It's clean with no noticeable scratches. I had a shamisen shop check the sound, and it plays without any issues, so it can be used as is. The tuning pegs have been adjusted at a cost, so they hold well. I'm offering it at a low price for those who want to try playing. Please purchase from a specialist if you are concerned about minor details. I will disassemble it for shipping. Alternatively, if you want it shipped without disassembly in a case, please feel free to ask, and I will look for one. Thank you for looking. Please refrain from price negotiations.
