Hi there.

I’m not presently in the market for a new instrument… but I did take a look at your listing.

It’s unlike any standard tsugaru I’ve seen before.

The doukake is okinawan style, and the tenjin seems very narrow. The nut and pegs are also more okinawan style. The base of the neck has a hatomune - a gentle curve.

It’s very interesting!! Where did you find it?

This looks to be a beautiful instrument! Unlike anything I’ve ever seen! I wish the pictures were a little less blurry though.

It was a gift. I believe the person bought from Ebay originally not sure of the maker:(
