Selling my Hosozao Shamisen with Cat Skin

So, I know this is basically sacrilege, but seeing as how my banjo took a dive on me, I’m looking to sell my shamisen. I have it posted on eBay with a full description for those of you that are interested. I’m asking $375, but would also accept the trade of a decent open back banjo. I’d like to think it’s a pretty sweet deal with the case, the cat skin, and all the accessories. I hope you think so too lol. Thanks for looking gang.

Hi Zach. Quickly looking at the pictures, it looks like the shamisen is not a nagauta but rather a jiuta one (the hatumone shape is different). Do you have the measurements of the dou ? A jiuta shamisen is generally chuuzao rather than hosozao. (It could be hosozao however… all is possible). Measurement could clarify that. Good luck for your trade.
