Snake Skin Reinforced Sanshin Body
112.20 $
Description
I purchased this when I was learning Okinawan folk songs in Okinawa about 6 years ago. I am selling it because I bought a new sanshin and use this one less frequently.
It has a double-layered construction where fabric is attached underneath the snakeskin, making it less prone to tearing compared to a single-layered skin.
While it doesn't have the soft tone of a single-layered skin, I believe it has a bright and resonant sound.
The tuning pegs (karakui) have metal parts for winding the strings, so unlike older sanshin, you won't experience the issue of the pegs slipping and making tuning (chindami) difficult.
The skin is slightly open at the glued edge in the 6th image, but I don't think it affects the sound.
There is a scratch on the central part of the neck in the 10th image. It has been touched up with black paint, so I don't think it's very noticeable.
There is deterioration due to scuffing on the copper-wrapped edge in the 18th image.
Thank you for looking.
