This is an artificial sanshin made of nylon resin. It has very high strength and durability, so even those who dislike snakeskin can use it with peace of mind. The manufacturer is unknown, and it appears to be a current model. The neck material is likely South Sea white wood, which is used in entry-level models. Condition: There are string scratches on the fingerboard and minor paint chips on the tip of the headstock, but the appearance is good, and there is no warping of the neck. I believe it can still be used for a long time. The karakui (tuning pegs) have been treated with rosin, and maintenance such as wiping the neck has been performed, so I think it's in good condition. Sound: The tension is somewhat soft, and the sound is not too sharp. It has a warm sound with a thick mid-range and a considerable volume. Accessories: None. It will be shipped in a sanshin cardboard box. Please take a close look at the photos as there may be overlooked scratches. Also, the product itself is around 40,000 yen, so please understand that the price is appropriate and the condition is based on my subjective opinion. Those who are looking for perfection or are overly concerned about details should refrain from purchasing.
