This is only the sao (neck) of a sanshin (red). This item is being sold as junk. There is a crack on the back of the ten (head). The previous owner has repaired the crack. Also, there are position marker stickers attached, but if you remove them carefully, the surface of the sao should be in good condition. The material is southern hardwood, so it is recommended for beginners or those who want to customize it themselves.
