Product description [We bundle accessories with a body that normally sells in-store for 1,200,000 yen, and offer it at a special price]

Beautiful toned grain across the whole neck, master craftsmanship with an outstanding wood grain.

For those who are already a master teacher or senior master teacher, those striving toward becoming a master teacher, or anyone who thinks "I want to play a shamisen of the same top quality as my teacher." This is a top-of-the-line Jiuta Kinhoso shamisen, with the sure dignity befitting a standing where every aspect -- not just your playing skill, but even the instrument in your hands -- draws attention and admiration from those around you.

Some people hesitate, thinking "an instrument like this may still be too much for me," but that's simply not true. A genuine instrument produces an extremely clear tone, so even the slightest slip in finger position shows up accurately in the sound. This trains your own ear, giving you the "shortest route to improvement": accurate technique. Above all, experiencing a truly authentic resonance makes your daily practice remarkably more enjoyable and fulfilling.

■ The supreme value and craftsmanship of this shamisen

The "finest-grade Koki neck" with an outstanding wood grain, worked evenly into 85% of the neck with no gaps Even among the finest Koki, we select superb material with a beautiful, striking toned grain worked finely and evenly into roughly 85% of the entire neck. It is extremely hard, and its outstanding wood grain -- unmatched for this class -- is its greatest feature. The tone released from its substantial weight and overwhelming hardness firmly brings out the depth, sustain, and thoroughly clear, unclouded beauty that are unique to a Jiuta shamisen.
Maximum stability and prestige: "Kinhoso double-groove joint" To keep the neck joints as stable as possible, we use the advanced traditional "double-groove" joinery, and further inlay gold as proof of top quality (Kinhoso finish).
Tone taken to its ultimate: "Komochi ayasugi body, premium Karin body" To produce the rich, deep resonance unique to Jiuta music, we pair a top-grade Karin body (1-bu-5-rin size), with the beautiful, tightly wound grain rings characteristic of Kinhoso work, with a finely executed "Komochi ayasugi" carving on the inside to further enhance the tone. The sound resonates beautifully and richly inside the body, producing supreme overtones with real depth.

■ Because it's a top-of-the-line Jiuta shamisen meant to last a lifetime, Wagakki Ichiba promises "4 assurances"

Because this is a top-of-the-line Koki Kinhoso shamisen at senior master teacher level, it's only natural to feel some hesitation about buying one online. We promise the quality and sincere support that reflect our pride as a specialist store, so we can deliver the finest Kinhoso shamisen for you to treasure for a lifetime.

Instrument condition: "complete skin-stringing after your order" -- a skilled craftsman drawing out the best possible tone We never ship an instrument that has simply been sitting made up in stock. Once you place your order, a veteran craftsman with years of experience carefully assesses the character of each individual sheet of skin, which varies in thickness, and painstakingly stretches "the finest yotsukawa on the front, dog skin on the back," then carries out the set-up. It is delivered to you in the "freshly-skinned" condition where the tone is at its very sharpest.
Tone and quality: the "well-resonating, beautiful tone" produced by some of the finest skin-stringing skill in Japan No matter how good the materials, a shamisen won't ring properly if the skin isn't stretched enough. We give priority to sourcing only the highest-quality first-grade skin (a rare item favoured by professionals, obtainable from only a handful of workshops in the greater Kanto region), and stretch it evenly in all four directions to its absolute limit -- a level of skill we're proud of. Thanks to our own "deep-moistening" process, the fibres are pulled to their absolute maximum, so it resists loosening over time, and its beautiful, focused tone lasts remarkably long.
Why it's such good value: premium Koki that will soon be unobtainable, at Wagakki Ichiba's "special price" Premium Indian Koki for Jiuta with a beautiful toned grain worked into 85% of the neck is now extremely scarce, and prices are climbing. It is a rare material that is almost certain to become even harder to obtain in the future, yet thanks to our own sourcing channels and business effort, we offer it at a special price you are sure to be satisfied with in every respect -- quality, tone, and price.
After-sales guarantee: "lifetime support & a 3-month warranty" that starts the moment you buy A shamisen is a delicate traditional instrument that needs more careful maintenance the longer you use it. We provide a "free re-skinning warranty within 3 months of purchase (*)" and a "5% off re-skinning, for life" benefit. We will also give you a "humidity control plate" as a gift, to protect the delicate skin from moisture. We take full responsibility for any future maintenance and questions -- our relationship with you doesn't end with the sale, and we look forward to a long relationship with you.

■ Options / accessories

Choice of premium itomaki (2 types) You may choose, [free of charge], from the standard "Koki & ebony" or "ivory-look." (* Only a change to genuine ivory itomaki carries an extra charge of 80,000 yen.)

Normally, buying a brand-new top-of-the-line Jiuta shamisen of equivalent class would put you in the roughly 1.2-million-yen class (in Tokyo shops it can even exceed 1.5 million yen) -- this is a piece with the ultimate specification, at that level.

Wagakki Ichiba buys skin in bulk, carefully selects only the best from it, and has our craftsmen -- who have honed their skill over many years -- hand-stretch it with great care. No matter how fine a shamisen is, it won't ring properly if the skin isn't stretched enough; but with a properly stretched skin, it will ring remarkably well. We use some of the most specialised skill in Japan to draw the fullest possible tone from every shamisen.

Once you have it in hand and actually play it, we think you'll be surprised by the quality of the tone, the overall finish, and how reasonable the price is.

[What matters is what happens after you buy your shamisen]
A shamisen also has consumable parts, so with long use the itomaki will eventually wear and loosen, re-skinning will become necessary, and other repairs will eventually be needed. We provide thorough after-sales follow-up, so it's never "just a sale" -- we keep repairs affordable and take full responsibility for any questions or concerns you have as you use the instrument, because we want a long relationship with you.

* To our customers:
We look forward to hearing your feedback by email after you purchase a shamisen from us. Thank you in advance.

◆ Benefits ◆
1) 3-month warranty

2) 5% OFF re-skinning, with no time limit
* Only for shamisen purchased from us: we take a further 5% off our web price for re-skinning.

3) A humidity control plate as a gift
