Artificial Leather Design Sanshin - Beautiful Condition

This is a sanshin made of artificial leather with a beautiful floral pattern.
It has a good sound and is well-crafted as an instrument.
Makabe-style
The neck is likely made of Chun wood (teak wood). The neck weighs 502g.
It is heavy and stable.
The neck has no warping or twisting, making it very easy to play.
It is not made of Kokutan (ebony).
However, among woods other than ebony, it has a high specific gravity, is cheaper than ebony for sanshin wood, and many have a sound that rivals ebony.
When buying a new sanshin online, there's often a hit or miss, but I think this sanshin is a hit.

It's too good for a beginner and can be sufficiently used for stage performances, etc. (although some schools may prohibit it simply because it's artificial leather). Conversely, many Eisa performers in Okinawa and nationally famous Okinawan folk singers also use artificial leather. I believe this is because it has few quirks and the sound is stable as an instrument. (This may be heavily influenced by my personal opinion as a sanshin enthusiast.)

The sound is mid-high, with good resonance, making it a pleasure to play.

It has been carefully assembled by a craftsman.

There are minor scratches from use that can be seen upon close inspection, but there are no noticeable scratches or damage, and I believe it is a beautiful sanshin.

This sanshin is perfect for those who dislike snakeskin or snake patterns.

It will be shipped in the semi-hard case shown in the photos (used), wrapped in bubble wrap.

As this is a used item, please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive.
