This is an artificial skin sanshin made of nylon resin. It has very high strength and durability, so even those who don't like 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 head. However, the appearance is good, and there is no warping of the neck, so it should last for a long time. The karakui (tuning pegs) have been treated with rosin, and maintenance such as wiping the neck has been performed, so it is in good condition. Sound: The tension is somewhat soft, and the sound is not overly bright. It has a warm sound with a thick mid-range and a considerable volume. Accessories: None. It will be shipped in a sanshin-sized cardboard box. *If needed, a sheet of Kunkunshi (musical notation) and a buffalo horn bachi (plectrum) can be included as a bonus. Please examine the photos carefully, as there may be overlooked scratches. Also, the product itself is priced around 40,000 yen, so please understand that the price reflects the condition, and the condition is based on my personal opinion. Those seeking perfection or who are overly concerned about details should refrain from purchasing.
