◆ "Specialty-store quality." Top-tier specifications built with a craftsman's attention to detail
Our Superior Tsugaru Koki shamisen set keeps the price down while insisting on genuinely premium wood and precision workmanship throughout, so you can enjoy a level of quality and playability a cut above the rest.
·Generously using the finest luxury material, "Indian Koki (Kouki) wood" We use extremely hard, high-grade Koki wood from India. Beyond the body's beautiful grain and deep luster, it delivers a sturdiness that stands up to the pounding, forceful playing style of Tsugaru shamisen, along with a thick, powerful, ultimate sound.
·A "precisely made, Japanese-crafted" instrument with no margin for error The most critical points that determine a shamisen's tone and playability are precisely finished by a skilled artisan with no margin for error. As a result, not only intermediate and advanced players but even beginners can find hand positions easily and progress smoothly.
·"Azuma sawari" standard for dramatically better tone The pleasing "biiin" resonance (sawari tone) essential to Tsugaru shamisen comes standard with "Azuma sawari," which lets you easily fine-tune it with a single knob. Anyone can easily enjoy a professional-level, authentic sustain.
·100% pure luxury: "genuine ebony itomaki" The itomaki are made of genuine ebony, an extremely hard and sturdy high-grade wood. It is highly resistant to loosening, and is known for its smooth, crisp hold. There is no stress of the itomaki slipping while you play.
·A "three-piece folding neck" that is also convenient to carry It uses the precise traditional structure that lets the neck be taken apart into three pieces (a three-piece folding neck). While keeping top-tier playability, you can pack it compactly and easily carry it on flights, to lessons, on stage, or to concerts.
·A "high-quality Karin Marutsutsu-do body" achieving an outstanding boost in resonance Rather than simply making the body thicker, we use our own craftsman's technique of curving it slightly deeper than the standard. This dramatically improves sound projection and delivers an overwhelming boost in resonance from low to high register.
◆ Because it's a Tsugaru shamisen you'll keep for life, Wagakki Ichiba promises "4 kinds of peace of mind"
Whether you are picking up a shamisen for the first time or looking for a genuinely authentic instrument you can use for years, you may feel some anxiety about buying an expensive traditional Japanese instrument online. We promise the reliable quality and support that only a specialty store can offer, so you can be truly satisfied.
·Instrument condition: "complete adjustment right before shipping" by a skilled craftsman We never simply ship an instrument that has been sitting in stock. Once we receive your order, our skilled craftsman begins the skinning and other work, and right before shipping, checks and adjusts every single instrument perfectly, from a final check of the tone to how well the itomaki hold. From the moment it arrives, you can enjoy playing it in its very best condition.
·Tone and quality: the resonance of the finest "Indian Koki wood" and "carefully selected top-grade skin" We generously use high-grade Koki wood from its home region of India, regarded as the finest material for a shamisen. Because it is extremely dense and heavy, it fully draws out the "deep low end" and "supremely rich sustain" unique to a Tsugaru shamisen. Combined with the finest "top-grade skin" selected by our craftsmen, we guarantee an overwhelming resonance.
·After-sales warranty: an "exceptional 3-month free warranty" only a specialty store can offer, plus lifetime support Because these are delicate traditional instruments, we place the highest priority on your peace of mind after purchase. To cover you in case anything goes wrong, we include a **"3-month free warranty against skin tearing."** This reflects our confidence in our skill and materials. What's more, this special benefit of 5% off re-skinning costs continues for life after your purchase.
·Accessories: a "complete full set" so you can start the very day it arrives All the basic items you need to play are included from the start. We have carefully selected a substantial, high-quality set of accessories so that even beginners can start without hesitation, meaning there is no need to buy anything extra afterward — very economical and reassuring.
Note) Set prices are set according to the accessories included, so please check the accessory details below for more information.
This class is ideal for those currently practicing on a Karin shamisen who are considering upgrading to Koki, and for those about to seriously start the shamisen who want a good-sounding instrument from the very beginning.
(The difference in tone from a Karin shamisen is unmistakable.)
At Wagakki Ichiba, we purchase skins in large quantities, carefully select only the good-quality ones from among them, and our craftsmen, who have honed their skill over many years of experience, painstakingly stretch the skin on by hand. With a shamisen, no matter how good the instrument, it will not sound good if the skin is not stretched tightly enough. But when the skin is stretched properly, it can produce a surprisingly rich sound. We further refine the shamisen's tone using specialized techniques that are among the best in the country.
We confidently offer shamisen crafted by the hands of a craftsman who has honed his skill over many years.
*You can switch to synthetic skin (Shiramine) for an additional charge of 18,000 yen.
◆Benefits◆
1) 3-month warranty
*If the skin tears within 3 months of purchase, we will re-skin it free of charge.
*Not covered by warranty (if the skin peels away from the body, or if torn intentionally).
2) 5% off re-skinning, no time limit
*For shamisen purchased from us only, we offer re-skinning at a further 5% off our web price.
3) Free humidity control plate
*Ideal for protecting the shamisen's skin.
