This is a genuine leather sanshin (three-stringed instrument). As this is a used item, there is some minor damage to the skin, dirt on the soft case, and some signs of use, but there is no visible damage and the overall condition is generally good. I am not familiar with sanshin, but I believe it can be used by a wide range of players, from beginners to advanced players. Please check the photos and consider purchasing. It will be carefully packed with cushioning material and cardboard for shipping. To prevent damage, the uma (bridge) will be removed and included separately. [Included items] ・Tsume (plectrum) ・Soft case ・Tiger (decorative piece) I am a non-smoker and do not have any pets. Please understand that this is a used item.
