I have liked it a lot! I decided to start playing shamisen in an inexpensive way and bought this cardboard shamisen. It came with 2 guidebooks, one to introduce this shamisen and other to play it. Packaging was reasonable. It s easy to learn and the sound is surprisingly good. It s recommended to remove koma-piece when you don t play, I didn t do so which resulted the cardboard to sink under the koma. I believe I ll be able to play it until I m ready to buy a real shamisen.
Very happy with my purchase! Seller gives what I call 'happy packages'.. as in, there was a nicely folded paper crane inside (things like that spread joy for me). Fast shipping, excellent seller and everything is as described. Thank you A+
