SH-0359 Kouta Shamisen (Shitan wood, Stage Grade – complete set)

Description

Everything you need to play! Suitable for beginners and all skill levels.
Stage-Grade Shamisen, with great wood, and high quality workmanship.

Explore traditional Japanese music with this beautiful fully refurbished second-hand Kouta Shamisen, in a rare Shitan wood Sao and Tenjin.

The Dou is skinned with brand-new durable Hibiki synthetic skin in classic white, providing consistent tension and resonant sound ideal for both practice and performance.
The medium neck (Chuuzao) profile caters to a range of traditional playing techniques and genres.
The joints are Ippon-Mizo, which increases the sustain of the notes, and makes assembly easier.

In very good condition, this Shamisen is well maintained and ready to perform.
This shamisen has a few areas with small stains, a few small scratches, a couple of light chips off the wood, and it has had the tenjin joint repaired (the repair is barely visible), all which don’t affect play or longevity.

Included is a refurbished Bachi, ebony Itomaki tuning pegs, Doukake protector, Yubikake finger sleeve, complete Ito string set, Dou Gomu protective pad, Neo, Koma, Fujaku Strip and a Naga Fukuro storage bag.

Perfect for both beginners and seasoned musicians seeking quality and authenticity, this complete Shamisen set provides everything you need to embark on your musical journey.
