Even as a used item, it is rarely available. Although it is a shamisen that we would like to sell at a higher price, we have kept the price down because it is a used item.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs shown in the photos, the entire neck has fine, well-defined tochi patterns, and the wood quality is very hard and excellent. It would be difficult to obtain such an item even as a used one. The tochi patterns are generally sunken tochi, so they are not very visible in person, but the exceptional wood grain is a distinguishing feature.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe surface of the neck did not have any kamberi (wear), but it has been polished and is in beautiful condition. The areas other than the surface also have a deep luster, and overall, it is in very beautiful condition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe tuning pegs are honkokutan rosewood, but they show little wear as they have not been used much. They also hold well.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe shamisen itself also appears to have been used sparingly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis shamisen would be equivalent to a new product costing over 2 million yen at a retail store today.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe body is a komochi ayasugi body (5 bu large). There are no scratches on the body, and it retains its new luster. Overall, it is in very clean condition for a used item. The color of the body is as shown in the photos. The height and sag of the ha (lower bout) have also been inspected and adjusted.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe have applied excellent quality ryō-yotsu skin (normally 80,000 yen). In Tokyo, just the skinning with equivalent quality would cost over 100,000 yen. It produces a very delicate and beautiful tone. As expected of a kanaboso shamisen.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRegarding accessories, we have attached all new small items so that you can use them with comfort.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOverall, there are no noticeable scratches, and it is in beautiful condition for a used item. However, as it is a used item, if you are concerned about minor scratches or color unevenness, we recommend considering a new shamisen.\nPlease feel free to contact us if you have any questions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe also provide thorough after-sales support, so we want to build a long-term relationship with our customers, rather than just \"selling and being done.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e【After-sales care is important for a shamisen】\u003cbr\u003eA shamisen is a consumable item, so if you use it for a long time, the tuning pegs may wear out and become loose, or the skin may need to be replaced, and eventually, repairs will be necessary. We provide thorough after-sales support, so we want to build a long-term relationship with our customers, rather than just \"selling and being done.\" We will also offer repairs at a reduced price and provide responsible backup for any questions or consultations regarding its use.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs explained on our \"Shamisen Knowledge and How to Choose\" page, we do not recommend used shamisen (e.g., from auctions). However, in recent years, we have received many inquiries such as \"Can you buy my shamisen?\" or \"Do you handle used shamisen?\". Therefore, we have established our own very strict assessment criteria, and decided to purchase only shamisen that meet these criteria and sell them as used shamisen.\u003cbr\u003eWhile setting strict purchase assessment criteria makes it difficult to handle (prepare) a large number of used shamisen, we will provide items that can be used for a long time even if they are used. Of course, we will responsibly handle necessary periodic repairs such as skin replacement and tuning peg adjustments, as well as after-sales service after purchase.\u003cbr\u003e*Even after necessary maintenance, used shamisen may have minor scratches and color unevenness. If you are concerned about these, please consider a new shamisen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e◇Antique Dealer's License No. 931010001749\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"和楽器市場·新館","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49053023502489,"sku":"WKT-TS068","price":355000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0527\/4281\/5897\/files\/202503117.jpg?v=1741688372","url":"https:\/\/wagakkiichiba-sinkan.com\/en\/products\/wkt-ts068","provider":"和楽器市場·新館","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
