We moved house recently and it’s a bit smaller in here than in our old flat, so I’m trying to free up a bit of space. Since I had my “proper” shamisen reskinned with a synthetic skin (the same as on the Shamibuddy, in fact), I’m not so worried about it breaking, and I don’t feel so much need for a backup.
The Shamibuddy sounds great, far better than the normal beginner shamisens. If you’re interested, save yourself the costs of international shipping and customs charges by buying this one!
I don’t have a case, and finding a suitable box for shipping might be a challenge, so I’d prefer an in-person transaction.
I’m looking for about £200.
