Okinawa Sanshin, Makabe Style, Genuine Snake Skin Reinforced, Ryukyu, Japanese Musical Instrument

This is a Sanshin purchased on Mercari. It is a purple sandalwood Sanshin with genuine reinforced snake skin, originally purchased from Kome-su Sanshin Shop in Okinawa by the previous owner.
It was custom-made with a focus on its resonance.
It has a very beautiful tone and I am attached to it, so I am reluctant to part with it, but I am selling it to fund the purchase of a new Sanshin.

[Sanshin Specifications]
Neck: Purple Sandalwood (Oil Finish)
Skin/Tension: Genuine Reinforced Snake Skin (90% Tension)
Chiga (Body): Morishima Kai-sho Chiga

The oil finish means it is not glossy like many Sanshin you see.
You can enjoy the natural grain and beauty of the purple sandalwood material itself.

Regarding the skin, since it is genuine reinforced snake skin, I believe it will not tear even without meticulous care.
The tension is set at 90%, which is tighter than that of a typical Sanshin, resulting in excellent resonance and sustain.

Regarding the Chiga (Body):
Morishima Kai-sho Chiga is an option from Kome-su Sanshin Shop. By creating a complex internal structure for the Chiga, it is said to produce a wonderful tone with excellent sustain and resonance.
Indeed, I can feel considerable resonance and sustain, and it has a very beautiful tone.
For more details, please refer to the article Sanshin... About Morishima Kai-sho on the Kome-su Sanshin Shop's blog. If you are interested, please look it up.

For shipping, it will be sent in Yamato Transport's original dedicated Sanshin box.
