    This is a padded, lightweight case which is perfect for casually storing your shamisen in the house or taking out to local gigs or meetup sessions. Regardless of the padding, please be careful when traveling with it, as the shamisen can still be damaged if it falls or something falls on it, as there's no structural reinforcements. With that being said, if you're in a safe environment already, the Padded Soft Case is a super convenient way to carry your shamisen while keeping it safe from abrasion, dust, and spilled coffee! This Soft Case is second hand, with signs of use, but in great condition.
