i bought it when i had money, dont play it, and now i dont have money.
they aint cheap, but this one is, compared to buying it in a shop.
¥25000 plus shipping.
then i can get out of tokyo for a bit.

shipping would probably be quite expensive wouldn't it?

Shamisens are cool... but I don't have any money.

I have one of those.
I super-suck at it too.

japanese shipping isn't as expensive as you expect. mostly, at least.

ive got some photos if anyone is actualy interested.
if you make music, its a good thing to have around, its not easy to play though.
its not the best shamisen, hence the price. and it doesnt have a bachi(?)

i reckon it would cost less than £50 to ship to anywhere.
