Thank you for viewing! This is a sanshin, a traditional Okinawan instrument. ☺︎ It's the type that uses genuine snakeskin (hebi-kawa), making it easy to handle and suitable for beginners. It can produce sound, but fine adjustments will be the responsibility of the buyer. As it is a used item, there may be slight scratches. I will sell it to those who understand that it is a used item. ✨ Everything in the photos is included. I will pack it carefully and ship it. ☺︎ Thank you. ✦Please confirm before purchasing✦ I have described the condition to the best of my ability at the time of listing, but I have not checked every detail. Due to the nature of used items, there is a possibility of defects or oversights other than those described after arrival. Therefore, this item is sold as is, so please purchase only if you understand this beforehand (⁎ᵕᴗᵕ⁎)
