Description

Everything you need to play! Suitable for beginners and all skill levels.

Explore traditional and modern Japanese music with this top quality Tsugaru Shamisen, in solid Kouki wood Sao and Tenjin, and Dou with superior figuring.

The Dou is skinned with powerful sounding and innovative Kanade experimental synthetic skin in traditional white, providing consistent tension and resonant sound ideal for both practice and performance.
As an experimental skin, it has two years warranty, in case of early failure or sound profile degradation.

The Ippon-Mizo jointed thick neck (Futozao) profile caters to a range of traditional and modern playing techniques and genres.

In very good condition, this Shamisen is well maintained and ready to perform.
The metal coating on the Rindou has worn out a bit, as well as the lacquer on the Sao.
There is a small amount of kanberi, and a few light scratches.
The nakago joint has been repaired, and will last a very long time.
None of the cosmetic issues or repairs will affect play.

Included are a Bachi with a soft case, great Ebony Itomaki tuning pegs, a faux-leather Doukake protector, Yubikake finger sleeve, complete Ito string set, Dou Gomu protective pad, Neo, Koma, Fujaku Strip, and a Naga Fukuro storage bag.
