This month's price reduction: 398,000 Jiuta Shamisen Originally cost over 1 million yen It had cat skin, but it tore easily, so I replaced it with dog skin. It's about to come off, so please have it re-skinned. The instrument itself is of good quality. Please take a look at the wood grain of the neck; it may be difficult to see. I no longer use it, so I'd like to pass it on to someone. Includes a black hard case (used for shipping) Several new strings included Thank you.
